Real Madrid Signs Young Winger Yan Diomande as First-Team Player
Real Madrid has officially registered their latest summer signing, Yan Diomande, as a first-team player with La Liga. The 19-year-old winger joins the ranks from RB Leipzig in a massive deal worth €140 million, including add-ons, making him the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
The Ivory Coast international’s registration marks a significant decision by Real Madrid, as they opted not to list him as a Castilla player in the Primera Federacion, even though he is eligible based on his age. He is below the federation’s age limit of 23, which typically permits players to be affiliated with a reserve team.
This decision contrasts with a previous instance involving Franco Mastantuono, where the club utilized a similar rule to register him with Castilla.
Currently, with Diomande’s addition, Real Madrid has finalized all of their summer signings, which include Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, and Carlos Espi. The club now has all 25 first-team spots occupied, along with Thiago Pitarch, who is registered with the reserve team.
Given this full roster, any future signings will require Real Madrid to create space by transferring one of the existing squad members.

He is below the federation’s age limit of 23, which allows players to be registered with a reserve team under the relevant regulations.
Unlike what the club did a year ago with Franco Mastantuono, Real Madrid decided not to use the rule that would have allowed Diomande to be registered with Castilla.

All 25 First-Team places are now filled
With Diomande’s registration, Real Madrid have now registered all of their summer signings: Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi and the aforementioned Yan Diomande.
This also means that Real Madrid currently have all 25 first-team places filled, in addition to Thiago Pitarch, who is registered with the reserve team.
So if Real Madrid want to sign another player, they will necessarily have to make room by letting one of the players currently in the squad leave.
