Romano Drops Transfer Bombs: Real Madrid's €100m Diomande Bid Rejected, Chelsea Treading Carefully on Alajbegovic, Vozinha Heads to Colo-Colo

insider has delivered a fresh batch of transfer updates, and three stories dominate the conversation - Yan Diomande's potential move to Real Madrid, Chelsea's cautious pursuit of Kerim Alajbegovic, and Cape Verde legend Vozinha's next chapter. Real Madrid have stormed into the race for RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande, but their opening offer - €90m plus €10m in achievable add-ons - has been turned down flat. According to Romano, the Bundesliga side want a package closer to €120m before they even consider selling the 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger. Diomande, who bagged 13 goals in 36 appearances last season, has long been linked with PSG, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Romano confirmed that PSG already have a personal agreement with the player, but Leipzig and the French club have yet to strike a deal. That opened the door for Madrid, who went straight to Leipzig with an official bid. Arsenal and Manchester City have also been making calls, trying to understand the situation, but Real are now the most aggressive suitor. Meanwhile, Chelsea are keeping their cool over Bayer Leverkusen's Kerim Alajbegovic. Despite reports in Germany claiming the Blues had tabled a €40m (£34m) bid, Romano insists that figure is wide of the mark. Chelsea are negotiating, yes, but they are not prepared to overspend. Talks are ongoing with Leverkusen, but no personal terms have been agreed and Chelsea's valuation sits around €25-28m. Juventus are also in the picture, but the London club are in pole position - as long as the price stays under control. Finally, Vozinha, the 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper who stole hearts at the World Cup, is set to join Chilean giants Colo-Colo on a free transfer. Romano reports the deal is effectively done, giving the veteran shot-stopper a new home after his heroics on the global stage.
