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.

Today’s fluff is riding a unicycleIt’s been a quiet summer thus far for Folarin Balogun, so why not stir up some controversy by signing for the arch rivals of your boyhood club? The Monaco striker, who started his career at Arsenal, is being linked with a move to Tottenham, who need a goalscorer to ensure they do not finish 17th again. The American’s agents have offered him to Roberto De Zerbi’s side to see if they are willing to bite. One forward certainly of interest to the Italian manager is Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson but no bid has been made.This seems like a sensible point to put in some Tottenham and Manchester City gossip. If Savinho heads down south, as has been discussed for a long old while, Enzo Maresca would like Pedro Neto to replace him as a wing demon, having worked with the Portugal international at Chelsea. In further Spurs winger news, Manor Solomon was close to leaving for West Ham but Hull have entered the race as part of their accelerated transfer activity as they seek to ascertain if the Israeli is a Housemartins fan.

"If you have a player like that who puts in so much defensive effort – not just tracking back but also pushing forward since he is the one who wins back the most balls high up the pitch in Ligue 1 – it means he is an atypical and modern player."
Benjamin Mendy has sold the replica 2018 World Cup trophy FIFA awarded him at auction. In 2018, Benjamin Mendy lifted the World Cup at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium as part of the France squad that beat Croatia 4-2 in the final. Seven years later, that gold-plated memory has a price tag: the left-back has sold the official replica trophy FIFA gave him as a champion for roughly $62,200 at auction. The sale went through American collectibles house Goldin as part of its “Global Football Auction Part 2,” a sale that also featured memorabilia tied to names like Lamine Yamal, Pelé, and Lionel Messi, and closed on July 25. The piece up for grabs wasn’t the actual World Cup trophy, which stays in FIFA’s possession, but the identical replica FIFA and the French federation hand every world champion as a personal keepsake, standing roughly 38 centimeters tall. It was listed with a crack at its base and visible wear, and the winning bidder received a certificate signed by Mendy to authenticate it. Mendy had a brief participation at the 2018 World Cup Mendy, now 32, played a bit-part role in that Russia 2018 run under Didier Deschamps, coming on for 40 minutes in a 0-0 group-stage draw with Denmark while Lucas Hernandez started every other match at left-back.

(Getty Images) France‘s path to the title included wins over Argentina in the round of 16, Uruguay in the quarterfinals, and Belgium in the semifinals before the final against Croatia. Mendy’s career: a fall from the top Mendy’s path to that World Cup medal ran through Le Havre, where he broke into the first team in 2011 after coming up through the reserves, before a move to Olympique de Marseille in 2013 for three seasons. He then joined Monaco, where he won the 2016-17 Ligue 1 title as part of the young squad that also produced Kylian Mbappé, and that breakout campaign earned him a move to Manchester City in 2017 for a then-world-record fee for a defender. His six years at City were repeatedly derailed by injuries and, later, a major legal setback that kept him out of football entirely for two years before he was cleared in 2023. City released him following that ordeal, and his career never recovered its old level: a brief, appearance-less spell at Lorient came next, followed by a short stint at Swiss side FC Zürich, before he signed with Poland’s Pogoń Szczecin in September 2025, where he currently plays.
Ferran Torres could be close to leaving Barcelona, potentially opening the door for a possible Julian Alvarez transfer from Atletico Madrid. The Julian Alvarez saga has taken on a new dimension, with reports out of Spain now suggesting that Ferran Torres’ future at Barcelona could be the piece that finally unlocks the Argentine’s move away from Atletico Madrid. With Ferran’s contract set to expire in 2027 and no renewal in sight, speculation is mounting that his exit could clear the path for Alvarez to head the other way. According to SPORT journalist David Bernabeu, the renewal offer Barcelona plan to present to Torres doesn’t fully satisfy the forward. Ferran believes he deserves greater recognition after two strong seasons, in which he finished with 40 goals and 10 assists combined. With his contract nearing its end, the forward’s situation is being closely tracked by several clubs. “Ferran knows that in a few months he could leave for free, and there are two clubs interested in him, above all, PSG and Atletico Madrid. The Atleti interest could be related to Julian, but as of today, I repeat, it seems most likely that he stays,” MARCA‘s Matteo Moretto explained. This situation could actually work in both clubs’ favor, since a potential Torres move to Atletico Madrid could open the door for Julian Alvarez to arrive at Camp Nou. The Argentine forward made clear during the 2026 World Cup that he wants a transfer, though Madrid’s stance remains that any deal would need to meet his €500 million release clause.

(Getty Images) However, Bernabeu noted that Barcelona don’t want to let go of Ferran Torres unless the forward himself requests to leave, and that the odds of the Spaniard staying or departing are now “50/50,” since the final decision rests with the player. Atletico Madrid’s players reportedly pushing for Torres to join The push for Ferran Torres to join Atletico Madrid isn’t only coming from the boardroom — it’s reportedly being driven from inside the locker room too. “I’ll tell you that there are also Atletico Madrid players who are very close friends with Ferran Torres who tell him every day, ‘hey, come here, you’re going to be our number nine, you’re going to be our idol.’ But well, there are still things pending,” Moretto said in his report for MARCA. PSG reportedly shift toward Maghnes Akliouche PSG have also been mentioned throughout this saga as suitors for both players, adding a third club into the mix around Ferran’s future and, separately, around Alvarez’s. However, the Parisians appear to have shifted direction in their pursuit of both forwards. PSG have reportedly made real progress on a separate deal for Maghnes Akliouche, with reports suggesting a fee close to €50 million to pry him away from Monaco. While Ferran and Akliouche could be seen as two targets PSG want simultaneously rather than one replacing the other, the advancing talks for the French forward could still be read as a signal that PSG’s priorities are shifting elsewhere in the final stretch of the window.
