Real Madrid stay calm as Leipzig stall on €130m Diomande move

Real Madrid have made no secret of their desire to bring RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande to the Bernabéu this summer - but the deal is still far from done. Los Blancos have effectively found themselves alone in the race for the 19-year-old Ivorian, yet the two clubs have still not reached an agreement. Sources suggest Madrid's latest bid stands at €130 million, but the Bundesliga side have suddenly gone quiet. Leipzig, it appears, want Diomande to join the squad for their pre-season camp in Austria, which gets underway on Saturday, August 1. The player has been informed of the club's stance, but he is doing everything he can to avoid making that trip. Should he be forced to travel, Diomande reportedly intends to sit out full training sessions with the group. A resolution is expected within the next few hours. For his part, the youngster is hopeful the clubs can settle the matter and push the move through as quickly as possible.
