Real Madrid have officially entered the fray. Reports confirm they submitted an opening bid around €100 million £85–86m including add-ons, which Leipzig rejected. The German club value him closer to €120–130 million.

Liverpool also showed interest earlier in the window, while Arsenal and Manchester City have cooled their pursuit. Diomande is now said to be open to a Real Madrid move, with sources indicating he has given the green light to negotiations.
