It was one of the soap operas of this summer transfer window. After initially agreeing to join Paris Saint-Germain, who failed to reach an agreement with Leipzig on the amount of the transfer, Yan Diomandé finally decided to sign for Real Madrid. An operation valued at 140 million euros (bonus included).
For his part, the 19-year-old Ivorian winger signed a seven-year contract in favor of Casa Blanca, until June 2033. A contract with a salary estimated between 7 and 9 million euros net per year, according to different sources. Something to have fun…
On social networks, Yan Diomandé appeared with his brand new purchase, a yellow Lamborghini Urus. A racing car which is sold new from 263,700 euros.
Mourinho defends Diomandé
Since his arrival in the Spanish capital, Yan Diomandé has only played three ends of a match. Enough to already raise questions around its level given the enormous investment made by the Merengue. In response to the first criticism to which the Ivorian international is already the subject, José Mourinho gave him his support last weekend, following Real’s victory against Malaga (4-0).
“The situation of Yan Diomandé? Calm down. He must move forward step by step, released the “Special one”. He only played three matches, 20, 15 and 30 minutes. He works well, he works hard. He is open, humble. He wants to learn, he wants to work, he listens to me, but he also listens to his teammates. He will progress. I can’t look at his transfer price. I have to look at the young player with huge potential, who only has one season at the top level in the Bundesliga with Leipzig. Usually, when we talk about such a high amount, we are talking about a player who comes in and crushes everything from the start. This is not the case here. He’s too young, he’s still too naive, he has incredible potential, but take your time. »
