With Real Madrid announcing his official signing, the reported fee of €140 million positions Yan Diomande among the most expensive transfers in soccer history alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. Yan Diomande has been officially introduced as Real Madrid‘s newest marquee acquisition following weeks of intense negotiations with RB Leipzig, setting a new club record transfer fee. With reports indicating a total financial package of €140 million (roughly $153 million USD), the 19-year-old winger aligns himself alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe among the most expensive transfer deals in global soccer history. On Thursday, August 6, Real Madrid released an official statement confirming the acquisition: “Real Madrid C.F. and RB Leipzig have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Yan Diomande, who will be linked to our club for the next seven seasons, until June 30, 2033.“ Following a sensational breakout season in the Bundesliga with Leipzig and a stellar performance for Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup, Diomande emerged as one of the most coveted young talents in Europe. While Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid led the bidding war, the French champions ultimately bowed out due to Leipzig’s steep valuation, leaving Los Blancos to clear the hurdle and secure his signature. While Real Madrid did not publicly disclose the specific financial details, sources including ESPN confirm that the Spanish titan committed to a total package worth €140 million, eclipsing Jude Bellingham as the costliest transfer in club history. The fee includes a guaranteed base of €125 million, complemented by €10 million in easily achievable performance incentives and €5 million in more complex stretch bonuses. 👋 Welcome Diomande 👋 pic.twitter.com/QxUAC7WjeI— Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) August 6, 2026 Diomande still trails record sums paid for Neymar and Mbappe With Mbappe firmly locked in and Vinicius Junior recently signing an extension through 2032, Diomande is projected to complete a formidable front line from the right flank for the next seven years. Real Madrid’s willingness to make such an extraordinary financial commitment reflects complete conviction in his world-class potential, though his price tag still trails the historic sums spent on Neymar and Mbappe. Neymar continues to occupy the top spot on the all-time list after Paris Saint-Germain triggered his €222 million buyout clause to pry him away from FC Barcelona in 2017, more than doubling the previous world record fee. A year later, Mbappe made a high-profile move from AS Monaco to PSG for €180 million, structured as an initial loan before activating an obligatory purchase clause to navigate Financial Fair Play parameters. Behind the two historic PSG moves, the top three is rounded out by Alexander Isak, whom Liverpool acquired from Newcastle United for €144 million in 2025. With his full package factored in, Diomande now slides into fourth place on the all-time transfer leaderboard with his €140 million valuation.

Yan Diomande could dethrone Jude Bellingham and turn into the most expensive signing in Real Madrid's history. Yan Diomande‘s transfer to Real Madrid appears imminent, with RB Leipzig and the Spanish giant deep in negotiations to finalize the deal. With the player’s signature serving as the final remaining hurdle, Diomande’s reported fee could ultimately eclipse Jude Bellingham‘s transfer record to become the most expensive acquisition in Real Madrid history. Real Madrid’s front office has been working to lock up Diomande’s signing, though several obstacles surfaced over recent weeks, with Leipzig executives even publicly denying that an agreement had been reached. As negotiations resumed, momentum shifted, and widespread reports now indicate that a formal agreement has been struck between both clubs. According to The Athletic‘s Mario Cortegana and Sebastian Stafford-Bloor, Real Madrid will pay a base fee in the neighborhood of €125 million for Diomande. However, with an additional €15 million included in performance-based add-ons, the full package could reach €140 million, establishing the Ivorian winger as the single most expensive signing in Los Blancos history. A week ago, Leipzig announced that Diomande would not travel to the team’s training camp in Saalfelden, Austria, citing an illness that sparked intense speculation regarding his transfer status. When the German club subsequently confirmed he had rejoined the squad for preseason activities following his recovery, questions arose over whether contract talks had stalled. Willkommen im Trainingslager, Yan! 🙌🇦🇹Nach überstandenem Infekt ist Yan Diomande zurück im Training. 💪 pic.twitter.com/wVUakWzWVC— RB Leipzig (@RBLeipzig) August 5, 2026 Now back on track, The Athletic reports that Diomande is expected to receive clearance to travel to Madrid for medical examinations before finalizing his contract. The 19-year-old phenom is set to sign a five-year deal through 2031, completing a blockbuster transaction that could rewrite the financial record books at the Santiago Bernabeu. Diomande projected to surpass Bellingham’s benchmark Back in 2023, Real Madrid made a similar marquee investment in a teenage superstar, acquiring a 19-year-old Jude Bellingham. While initial reports suggested his transfer fee would fall below Eden Hazard’s record mark, post-deal disclosures revealed a far higher ultimate price tag. In an interview with Diario AS, Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke confirmed the transfer structure exceeded the initially reported €103 million base. “If it had been 103 million, we would have negotiated poorly. It was quite a bit more,” the German executive stated. According to Borussia Dortmund’s financial disclosures, Real Madrid agreed to a guaranteed €103 million fee alongside potential incentive clauses worth up to 30% of that base (€30.9 million). Those performance add-ons bring Bellingham’s maximum total fee to €133.9 million, leaving his mark just shy of the potential overall valuation for Diomande.

Daisuke Yokota has joined Rangers from Hannover 96 just a month after making his loan move to the 2 Bundesliga side permanent.

The 26-year-old made 30 appearances in the German second division and scored five goals as well as setting up four as Hannover finished fourth and narrowly missed out on a chance of promotion.
