The final structure is being discussed, after which it will become the biggest sale in RB Leipzigs history. There is no final green light yet, but its very close.@SkySportDE @Plettigoal Yan Diomande is fit again and will continue fulfilling his duties with RB Leipzig until the deal with Real Madrid is finalized. As RB Leipzig announced, once Diomande has fully recovered, he will join the team at its training camp. He arrived in Austria this morning.@SkySportDEBFW AnalysisIf the reporting is true, Diomand is set to bring RB Leipzig a massive cash influx. While a sale of the youngster will hurt Die Roten Bullen right now, this is the cycle of the club identify>acquire>develop>showcase>sell.While that philosophy can land financial windfalls like this, it has not helped RB Leipzig get closer to Bayern Munich in the leagues hierarchy. For Real Madrid, this gives the new blood inthe attack. After realizing Bayern Munich was not going to sell Michael Olise, Real had to act quickly on its next target and ultimately landed on RB Leipzigs talented 19-year-old, whose professional world is apparently about to undergo a massive change.
