Yan Diomande's Real Madrid move stalled by agency dispute

Ivorian winger Yan Diomande's proposed transfer from RB Leipzig to Real Madrid remains unfinalised. Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schäfer told Sky Sport Germany that no agreement has been reached and that the club is "not at that stage" yet, contradicting earlier media reports that the deal was done.

The delay is linked to a legal conflict between Diomande's former agent Max Gradel of Maxidel Management and his current representatives at Roc Nation. Maxidel has lodged a complaint with FIFA alleging a breach of contract, and FIFA’s ruling on the dispute will determine whether the player can be registered for Real Madrid. Both clubs say they are unaware of the dispute and have completed the financial terms of a transfer valued at over €100 million (reports range from €122 million to €132 million).

Diomande has been absent from Leipzig’s preseason camp, officially due to a medical issue, while negotiations continue. The outcome hinges on FIFA’s decision, which could allow a provisional licence or block the move entirely.
