🚨⛰️ Yan Diomande has arrived at RB Leipzig‘s training camp in Austria.
Diomande is fully fit again after recovering from his infection.
Negotiations with Real Madrid are not in danger. They remain advanced, with the total package expected to significantly exceed €120m.

Plettenberg’sc olleague, Philipp Hinze also had details on the situation:
🔴 RB Leipzig and Real Madrid are currently finalizing the deal for Yan Diomande. The final transfer fee, including bonuses, is expected to be between €130m and €140m. The deal is close to being completed. The final structure is being discussed, after which it will become the biggest sale in RB Leipzig’s history. There is no final green light yet, but it’s very close.
@SkySportDE @Plettigoal🔴 Yan Diomande is fit again and will continue fulfilling his duties with RB Leipzig until the deal with Real Madrid is finalized. As RB Leipzig announced, once Diomande has fully recovered, he will join the team at its training camp. He arrived in Austria this morning.

BFW Analysis
If the reporting is true, Diomandé is set to bring RB Leipzig a massive cash influx. While a sale of the youngster will hurt Die Roten Bullen right now, this is the cycle of the club — identify>acquire>develop>showcase>sell.
While that philosophy can land financial windfalls like this, it has not helped RB Leipzig get closer to Bayern Munich in the league’s hierarchy.
For Real Madrid, this gives the new blood inthe attack. After realizing Bayern Munich was not going to sell Michael Olise, Real had to act quickly on its next target and ultimately landed on RB Leipzig’s talented 19-year-old, whose professional world is apparently about to undergo a massive change.
