Romano: Real Madrid finalizes Diomande transfer, Mourinho plans right-wing role

Published Jul 29, 12:29 AM UTC

Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Real Madrid has finalized all details for the transfer of Diomande from RB Leipzig, with only Leipzig's search for a forward replacement delaying the official announcement. Paris Saint-Germain has completely withdrawn from the deal since last Saturday, after learning of Real Madrid's principle agreement with Leipzig. PSG expressed anger over how certain intermediaries handled the deal. Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho and his staff have begun tactical preparations, planning to deploy Diomande primarily on the right wing, with occasional left-wing usage. Additionally, Real Madrid has signed Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan for €20 million to further strengthen wing options. The player has verbally agreed to join, and all documents are ready pending Leipzig's replacement signing.
