It appears that Paris Saint-Germain have pulled out of the race, leading many to believe it was only a matter of time before Yan Diomande joined Real Madrid and became the fourth 100 million euros signing in the club's history. However, not only is the transfer nowhere near completion, but RB Leipzig have taken a bold stance against Los Blancos by completely ignoring their latest offer. As a reminder, Real's initial bid of around 100 million was rejected without hesitation. Reports then suggested that the Spanish giants would increase their offer to 120 million, a figure expected to be enough to get the deal over the line. Instead of negotiations progressing, however, everything has suddenly come to a standstill. In fact, Leipzig reportedly did not even respond to Real Madrid's latest proposal. That is according to reliable Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.🚨🦾 Yan Diomande has now shared private photos from an individual training session.

The player has already been informed of the decision. Although there is little he can do about it, Sky reports that Diomande still hopes the transfer will eventually happen and that he may avoid joining Leipzig's pre-season camp. The situation is expected to become clearer on Saturday morning.Operation 'Diomande' in Madrid – Los Blancos make their move for IvorianThere is no doubt that Diomande wants to join Real Madrid and had hoped all parties would reach a quick agreement. Leipzig, however, have decided to drive a hard bargain for as long as possible. Before departing for Austria, the Saxony club will play a friendly against third-division side SC Verl on Saturday. Diomande is unlikely to feature in that match in order to avoid jeopardizing a potential move to Madrid.##NAJAVA_MECA_9872415##One of the main reasons for Leipzig's stance is their insistence on receiving 120 million euros guaranteed, plus substantial performance-related bonuses based on both individual and team achievements. It remains unclear whether Real Madrid's offer consists of 120 million including bonuses or is structured differently, but it is evident that something in the negotiations has frustrated Leipzig's hierarchy. Alternatively, they may simply be holding firm in the hope of squeezing a few more million euros out of the deal. The European transfer window remains open until September 1, meaning there is still another month of transfer drama to come.
