The ongoing transfer saga involving the Ivorian winger Diomande has entered a new phase as RB Leipzig confirmed his return to training this Wednesday amid ongoing negotiations with Real Madrid. This development came despite expectations that the player would not rejoin team activities while the deal remains unsettled.
Diomande initially rejoined Leipzig last Monday to undergo the customary medical examinations and participate in part of the preseason training alongside his teammates. However, the situation took a turn on Tuesday when he refrained from full group training, opting instead to work separately during the first part of the session and then being absent for the remainder. The club’s cautious approach reflects concerns about potential injuries that could jeopardize the transfer, especially given the hefty price tag reportedly set at around 130 million euros.
Return to Full Training After Illness
After missing a friendly match against Verl in Austria due to illness, Diomande completed a full training session with RB Leipzig’s squad on Wednesday. His recovery and participation mark the latest twist in a transfer that continues to face delays, leaving the prospect of his move to Real Madrid unsettled for now.
Despite the player’s reintegration into the training regime, the completion of his transfer remains pending, underscoring the complexity and high stakes involved in this high-profile transaction.
