Paris Saint-Germain have officially confirmed their withdrawal from the race for Yan Diomande’s signature, citing the “completely disproportionate and distorting” demands of the player and selling club, RB Leipzig. Real Madrid have reportedly accepted those outrageous sums.
The back-to-back European champions were heavily tipped to snap up Diomande despite rampant interest from several other continental giants. It was widely reported that PSG served as the Côte d’Ivoire international’s first choice, giving them the edge over the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and even Real Madrid.
