Overview
- Real Madrid and RB Leipzig have agreed a package with a guaranteed fee of about €125 million and add-ons that could raise the total toward €135–140 million, and Leipzig gave Diomandé permission to travel to Madrid for medicals.
- Diomandé was authorised to leave RB Leipzig’s pre-season camp on Thursday to undergo medical checks and complete signatures with Real Madrid, with club announcements expected once formalities finish.
- A dispute between Maxidel Management and Roc Nation over the player’s representation and image rights remains active and may lead to FIFA scrutiny, but multiple outlets report it is not stopping the immediate procedural steps to finalise the transfer.
- The 19-year-old’s valuation follows a breakout 2025–26 season in which he produced double‑figure goals and assists and elite dribble metrics, which attracted interest from PSG, Liverpool and Bayern before Madrid intensified talks.
- If completed at reported figures, the deal would set a club record for Real Madrid, make Leipzig’s sale their largest, entitle Leganés to a sell‑on share, and leave Leipzig planning to reinvest proceeds and seek a replacement.
