One Transfer Race Has Suddenly Become Two Until recently, the story was simple. Yan Diomande, RB Leipzig’s extraordinary young winger, appeared to be choosing between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. Both clubs had tracked him extensively, both had compelling sporting projects, and both seemed capable, if perhaps reluctant, of meeting Leipzig’s enormous valuation. Then Real Madrid […] The post Diomande, Vinícius and the Transfer Domino Effect That Could Define the Summer appeared first on SoccerNews.
Real Madrid reportedly made an offer for Yan Diomande, amid their search for Michael Olise. Real Madrid have entered the race for Yan Diomande, making an offer worth €100 million for the RB Leipzig winger, according to Fabrizio Romano. The move comes as the club’s long-running pursuit of Michael Olise continues to meet resistance from Bayern Munich, pushing Florentino Perez’s sporting management to explore alternatives at the same position. Olise remains the priority. The Frenchman is believed to want a move to the Bernabeu, a desire that grew during his run at the 2026 World Cup alongside Kylian Mbappe, who has reportedly done his own convincing behind the scenes. Bayern, however, have made clear they consider the 24-year-old untouchable this summer, with club president Herbert Hainer stating the German champions don’t need to sell their best assets even for offers approaching €200 million. Diomande represents a different profile of pursuit altogether. The 19-year-old Ivorian, who joined Leipzig from Leganes last summer, was one of the standout performers for Côte d’Ivoire at the World Cup and finished last season with 12 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances, being selected as Rookie of the Bundesliga. 🚨⚪️ Real Madrid sent €100m official bid to RB Leipzig this week: €90m plus €10m add-ons proposal on the table.RB Leipzig have rejected as they ask for more than €100m to let Diomandé leave.Real remain in talks.🔴🔵 PSG, in talks for weeks but no agreement yet with RB. pic.twitter.com/c8U9x0vknr— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 24, 2026 Real Madrid’s chief scout, Juni Calafat, tracked him closely throughout the tournament, and multiple reports indicate Diomande himself favors a move to the Spanish capital over rival offers from Liverpool and PSG. How Real Madrid reportedly plan to land Olise Sources close to the negotiation describe a structured approach rather than an immediate bid. According to Diario As’ Joaquin Maroto, Madrid’s plan reportedly starts with generating funds through outgoing sales before formalizing anything with Bayern, with the eventual proposal framed around a fixed fee around €223 million. Per Maroto’s reporting, the club wouldn’t move until the closing days of the transfer window, between August 29 and 31, with the intention being to arrive at that stretch with clarity on departures, squad needs, and Bayern’s willingness to negotiate.
Hull City have signed free agent Hidemasa Morita on a two-year deal, with a club option of a further year. Morita was released from Portuguese side Sporting at the end of the 2025-26 campaign after spending four years at the club. The defensive midfielder has won 40 caps for Japan, but he was not selected for the 2026 World Cup squad.
