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 rumours are prising open their war chestAston Villa struggling to hold on to their World Cup stars has become something of a theme of this transfer window and off we go again with Arsenal stepping up their interest in Ezri Konsa. The Daily Mail reports that the Premier League champions, having had a bid for the England defender rebuffed last month, are coming back with a bigger offer for Konsa, who Villa value at £60m minimum. Meanwhile, Villa are trying to nail down a £14m deal for Atlético Madrid’s Italian left-back Matteo Ruggeri.Liverpool are looking for defensive reinforcements and could swoop for the Real Madrid centre-back Raúl Asencio. The 23-year-0ld has been told he can leave the Bernabéu and various Mr 15%s have approached Liverpool about a move, reports Teamtalk. Also on Andoni Iraola’s radar is the teenage Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye.

At first glance, Bradley Barcola looks like the natural successor to Luis Diaz, with the underlying data suggesting the Paris St-Germain forward could fill that void. Opta's player similarity model rates the Frenchman as the winger whose output most closely resembled Diaz's across Europe's top five leagues in 2025-26 (78%), with Mohamed Salah (65%), Lamine Yamal (61%) and Vinicius Junior (61%) the next closest matches. Barcola is a left winger by trade, having played almost all of his Champions League minutes for PSG on that flank, but his game is shaped by a centre-forward's instincts.
Tottenham are keen on a move for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo as Roberto de Zerbi continues reshaping his squad. Liverpool are reluctant to weaken their attacking options, particularly after Mohamed Salah's departure and with Hugo Ekitike still recovering from an Achilles injury. The Reds are themselves pursuing Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola but, even if he arrived, Liverpool would be losing one of their most experienced attackers.
Liverpool have twice paid more than £100m for players - midfielder Florian Wirtz and striker Alexander Isak - and could be about to pay that much once again. Paris St-Germain and France winger Bradley Barcola has become a main target for Liverpool, with the Reds prepared to pay about £100m, while PSG are holding out for somewhere near £145m.
