Real Madrid have moved ahead of Liverpool in the race to sign Yan Diomande, according to the latest transfer reports. The Spanish giants are said to be pushing through a huge deal worth around £100 million, putting them in a commanding position over the Premier League club.
Liverpool had reportedly entered the summer window with real interest in Diomande, who is described as a target from RB. But the scale of Real Madrid’s move appears to have changed the picture quickly, leaving Liverpool with little ability to match the momentum of the deal.
The key issue for Liverpool is not just competition from another elite club, but the size of the fee now being discussed. A transfer at that level would make it extremely difficult for the Reds to stay in the battle, especially if Real Madrid are already advancing talks.
As things stand, Real Madrid look to have stolen a march in the Yan Diomande transfer race. Liverpool’s interest may have been genuine at the start of the window, but this now looks like a situation where the La Liga side hold the clear advantage.
