Diomande signing for Real Madrid not tied to Vinicius’ departure -report

Real Madrid are closing in on an agreement for Red Bull Leipzig star Yan Diomande. Los Blancos seem set to spend around €120 million to sign the young attacker but that move is not tied to Vinicius Junior leaving the club this summer, according to a report from AS.

Still, and while there’s a sizeable gap between Vinicius’ demands and Real Madrid’s offer, both parts want the extension to happen, per that same report from AS.
