RB Leipzig Star Yan Diomandé Withdraws from Pre-Season Amid Real Madrid Transfer Rumours
RB Leipzig's highly-rated winger, Yan Diomandé, has seemingly taken matters into his own hands regarding his potential move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. The 19-year-old Ivorian has reportedly withdrawn from Leipzig's travelling squad for their pre-season training camp in Austria.
While officially cited as being unwell, this development comes amid intense speculation linking Diomandé with a move to the Santiago Bernabéu. German transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg reported the news, stating that the winger called in sick this morning and is not expected to join the team for their training camp.
Diomandé's name has been prominent in Spanish media headlines over the past week. Reports suggest that Real Madrid has emerged as the frontrunner to sign the player, with an agreement reportedly reached with Diomandé's representatives. Negotiations with RB Leipzig are understood to be in their final stages, with only minor details remaining before a deal can be finalized.
Evidently eager to avoid jeopardizing his potential transfer to one of the world's biggest clubs, the young winger's decision not to join his current teammates for pre-season training underscores his desire for the move to La Liga to be officially confirmed within the next 48 hours.
