RB Leipzig is still not willing to respond to Real Madrid’s latest offer for star attacker Yan Diomandé per Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg :
🚨⏳ RB Leipzig are still not willing to respond to Real Madrid’s latest offer for Yan Diomande.
As a result, Real Madrid still have no counter-offer to respond to. There is still no agreement between the clubs.
The saga continues on Sunday. The deal is still on. @philipphinze24 @SkySportDE
Earlier on Saturday, Diomandé called out sick for a friendly in Austria, which automatically caused discussion about deal being close. That was not the case, but it could have been a precaution to keep the attacker healthy:
🚨⏳ This was always the clear plan of Yan Diomande and Real Madrid, as reported last night and today: Diomande will not travel to Austria with the RB Leipzig squad this afternoon.
Real and RB remain in negotiations. Real are pushing to finalise the deal today or, at the latest, on Sunday.
Martin Demichelis: “If he’s ill, then he’s ill.” 😉 @philipphinze24 @SkySportDE
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano (also the archrival of Plettenberg) had this information as well:
🚨❌ Yan Diomande did NOT play today’s friendly match and he will NOT even travel to Austria for pre-season camp with RB Leipzig.
His move to Real Madrid, closed since last Saturday just waiting for club’s green light as soon as they line up replacement. ⚪️🔜
At one point, Diomandé on Bayern Munich’s radar, but now it appears as if he will be moving to Real Madrid.
