Bild Refutes Romano: All Real Madrid Bids for Diomande Rejected by Leipzig

Published Jul 27, 07:26 AM UTC

German media Bild's RB Leipzig correspondent team has contradicted transfer expert Fabrizio Romano's report that Real Madrid and RB Leipzig agreed on a transfer fee exceeding 100 million euros for 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande. According to Bild, no agreement has been reached, and all of Real Madrid's offers have been rejected. Leipzig demands at least 120 million euros for the player, who joined from Leganés for 20 million euros a year ago and has a contract until 2030 with no release clause. Diomande, who posted a 'Hala Madrid' message on social media, is expected to return to Leipzig for mandatory fitness tests on Monday. Head coach Martin Demichelis plans to have him train as usual unless Real Madrid significantly increases its offer.
