Real Madrid see in Diomandi, who is 19, a player who can provide the team with multiple attacking solutions given his ability to play at both ends of the front line, in addition to his pace and skill to change the rhythm of attacks.
Portuguese Jose Mourinho, the manager of Real Madrid, had asked the club’s management to strengthen the attacking line with more speed, which made Diomand one of the most watched names in the corridors of the club.
Paris Saint-Germain were thought to be the closest destination for Diomandi after an initial agreement was reached with the player, but the deal fell through due to a lack of agreement with Leipzig, who insisted on a fee of between €120m and €130m, wanting to keep the player on loan for an additional season.
Faced with these conditions, the Parisian club decided to withdraw from the negotiations, preferring not to pay an inflated amount to complete the deal.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, have moved quietly in recent days to take advantage of the media frenzy surrounding the deal for Bayern Munich’s Michael Olisse, as Real Madrid took advantage of the atmosphere to make their move in Germany and complete talks with Leipzig over Diomande.
