Real Madrid have suffered another setback in their bid to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé, as the German side have confirmed there is no final deal.
Real Madrid fans have been given a significant update on the club’s bid for Yan Diomandé, as RB Leipzig’s director Marcel Schäfer has confirmed that the deal has not been finalised. The Spanish giants have already been closely connected with the highly-rated youngster in recent weeks, but there is still more to be done.
Diomandé has become one of the most promising young talents in European football and has garnered a lot of attention from Real Madrid. The 19-year-old winger is said to be in the sights of the Spanish giants, who have been trying to sign him from Leipzig.
There had been reports of talks between the two clubs being in the final stages and that Diomandé might soon be named as a Real Madrid signing. But the Leipzig hierarchy has now put those hopes to the test.
Leipzig Confirm Deal Is Not Done
Marcel Schäfer answered questions from the press, and confirmed that the transfer is not finalised.
“The deal is not done. That’s simply not the case. That’s not the case yet, Schäfer said.
The comments suggest Real Madrid have yet to do enough to officially complete the deal. The talks could be going well behind the scenes, but Leipzig’s declaration indicates that an agreement between the clubs has not been reached.
Real Madrid Still Want Diomandé
Real Madrid are still keen to sign the winger, despite the latest development. The club have been closely monitoring Diomandé’s development and are seen as a player who could become a key cog in their squad of the future.
His pace, technical ability and attacking versatility have made him a desirable addition to the Spanish giants. But with Leipzig still to reach a deal, Madrid fans could have to wait even longer for the deal to be finalised.
Diomandé’s switch to the Santiago Bernabéu is still a possibility, but it’s not a done deal and more talks are likely to be held before the deal is done.
