Real Madrid have officially announced the signing of Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for around €135 million. With add-ons, the fee could rise to €140 million, according to reports from Florian Plettenberg (Sky) and Fabrizio Romano.

He has signed a five-year deal, until June 30, 2033, as officially confirmed by Real Madrid.

The deal makes Diomande the most expensive transfer in the club’s history, surpassing the €127 million Bellingham ended up costing including bonuses.

The 19-year-old Ivorian winger signs after an explosive season in the Bundesliga. His arrival strengthens Mourinho’s attack with the pace and one-on-one ability down the right flank that the coach had been asking for over the past few months.

CD Leganés, the club that developed him and sold him to Leipzig in 2025, will receive around 5% of the transfer thanks to the sell-on clause agreed at the time. The details of the player’s salary and the date of his official unveiling are still to be confirmed.

His arrival reopens the debate over the future of Vinicius Jr., whose contract renewal with the club remains unresolved. The Brazilian now faces direct competition from the most expensive signing in the club’s 124-year history.
