Diomande Transfer Stalled: Agency Dispute Between Roc Nation and Maxidel Management Complicates Real Madrid Move
German media Bild reports that RB Leipzig's transfer of Ivorian star Yann Diomande to Real Madrid is stalled due to a dispute over the €120 million fee and a legal battle between his current agency, Roc Nation (run by Jay-Z), and his former agency, Maxidel Management. Diomande switched to Roc Nation in spring 2025, but Maxidel claims an exclusive contract signed during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, valid until December 31, 2027, and has taken the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Real Madrid is hesitant to proceed until the agency conflict is resolved.
