Real Madrid drop €130m on a 19-year-old

Official. Yan Diomande signs for Real Madrid. €125m plus €15m in add-ons. Seven-year deal. Leipzig confirmed it yesterday with a dig at Fabrizio Romano. 13 goals, 9 assists in Germany last season. Played at the World Cup for Ivory Coast. -1-9

€130m for a kid with one full season in Europe. That's the price of panic when you've got Mbappe, Vini, Endrick, Rodrygo, and Brahim already in the building. Leipzig are laughing. Mourinho's collecting wingers like trading cards. Diomande better be ready to defend because that attack doesn't need another luxury player.

He's not in the squad for the Ferencváros friendly. Individual training only. Watch how he fits in the Clasico in a few weeks. If he starts over Rodrygo, the price still looks heavy. No bet on Madrid until I see the line. -11
