RB Leipzig have rejected reports that they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid over the transfer of Yan Diomande, insisting that the deal is not close to being completed.
Speculation about an imminent move to the Spanish club had intensified, prompting RB Leipzig to clarify the position surrounding the player’s future. The German club said there is currently no agreement between the two sides.
Marcel Schafer, a senior figure at RB Leipzig, directly addressed the reports and sought to end the growing uncertainty around the transfer story.
“The deal is not done. That is simply not the case. We are not at that stage yet,” Schafer said.
His comments represent the clearest response so far from RB Leipzig to claims that negotiations with Real Madrid had already reached an advanced point. The statement also draws a firm distinction between reported interest and a completed transfer agreement.
Real Madrid’s interest in Yan Diomande remains genuine, according to RB Leipzig’s clarification, but the player’s situation is still unresolved. While the Spanish club is understood to be involved in the matter, the German side has made clear that no final arrangement has been concluded.
The denial comes as transfer speculation surrounding Diomande continues to grow. Reports had suggested that a move to Real Madrid could be imminent, but Schafer’s intervention indicates that the process has not reached the stage described in those reports.
For now, the future of Yan Diomande remains open. RB Leipzig have neither confirmed a transfer nor indicated that an agreement is close, while Real Madrid’s interest continues to form the central focus of the developing story.
The club’s position is that the matter is not settled and that discussions have not progressed far enough for a deal to be announced. That leaves the transfer subject to further developments, with no agreement currently in place between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid.
Schafer’s comments were intended to put an end to the immediate speculation, but they do not rule out the possibility of a move at a later stage. They instead confirm that, despite Real Madrid’s interest, the process remains unfinished.
As a result, reports of an imminent transfer should be treated with caution. RB Leipzig’s public denial means that any future move for Diomande would still require further progress before it could be regarded as complete.
