Real Madrid have officially announced the signing of Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig on a deal running until 2033. The transfer, worth €125 million plus €15 million in add-ons, becomes the most expensive in the Spanish club's history. At just 19 years old, the Ivory Coast international also becomes the most expensive African player of all time.
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.
