RB Leipzig have granted the 19-year-old permission to travel to Spain, where he is set to undergo a medical with the La Liga club, according to Fabrizio Romano. The transfer is now in its final stages. Once Diomande passes the tests, the deal is expected to be officially wrapped up. Real Madrid have agreed to pay a guaranteed €125 million, with performance-related bonuses potentially pushing the total to €140 million. Madrid open the new La Liga season away to Espanyol.
