Yan Diomande’s anticipated move to Real Madrid remains incomplete. RB Leipzig managing director Marcel Schäfer has confirmed that the deal is not yet finalized, while also making clear that there is no uncertainty over who currently represents the player.
“It’s clear that some so-called transfer experts reported a few days ago that the deal was done or gave it the ‘here we go.’ That’s simply not the case. We’re not at that stage yet,” Schäfer told Sky Sports Germany.
He was asked if the transfer could fall through if there was a dispute regarding the player’s proper agency.
“From my perspective, it’s a clear no. I’m not aware of that. There has been a change of agents. Our point of contact is now Roc Nation – that’s something Yan made very clear to us. I don’t think a transfer would fall through because of that, if it even comes to a transfer in the first place,” the Lepzig managing director said, as reported by Phillip Hinze of Sky Sports.
