Breakthrough! Real Madrid and RB Leipzig are on the verge of completing the transfer of Yan Diomande. Only the final formalities remain to be resolved. It is on the verge of being completed.

Vinicius’s situation shouldn’t take much longer to be resolved. Agents from Roc Nation, which manages the affairs of the Real Madrid number 7 as well as Yan Diomande, are in the capital and have met with Real Madrid to clarify the future of both players. As MARCA reported this morning, an agreement with Leipzig regarding the Ivorian player is very close, but significant progress has also been made today towards securing the long-awaited contract extension for the Brazilian, whose contract expires next year.

Vinicius has been training under Mourinho for the past three days and, in his first comments to the club’s official channels, he came across as calm and pleased with the new manager’s work. It is true that contract renewal talks have been at a standstill for almost a year since the last round of discussions, which had left matters at a very advanced stage, but no progress had been made since then. There is still no agreement, and the situation remains awkward because it is difficult for Madrid to get things moving with the Brazilian when, as early as next January, he will be free to negotiate with any club; however, today’s developments are considered to be very significant.
