There is growing optimism that the transfer could be completed in the coming days.The reports claim Madrids opening offer of 90 million plus 10 million in add-ons was rejected, but negotiations remain active and the club is pushing hard to get the deal over the line.Manchester City and Arsenal are both said to have made approaches for Diomand over the last 10 days, but the winger has reportedly made it clear that his priority is Real Madrid.The move aligns with Jos Mourinhos desire to add more pace, dynamism and one-on-one ability to his attack, with Diomand expected to operate primarily from the right wing.Should the deal be completed, questions will inevitably arise over the futures of Endrick, Franco Mastantuono and Brahim Daz, all of whom are competing for attacking minutes.The timing is also notable. Reports earlier today linked Arsenal with a potential move for Vincius Jr. should contract talks stall. While there is no indication the two situations are directly connected, Diomands arrival would further strengthen Madrids attacking depth and could influence how the club plans its long-term frontline.If completed, the signing would represent another aggressive move in the marketsimilar to the swift pursuit of Marc Cucurella earlier this summeras Real Madrid continue to reshape Mourinhos squad.
