RB Leipzig CEO Denies Fabrizio Romano's 'Here We Go' on Yan Diomandé to Real Madrid
RB Leipzig CEO Marcel Schäfer has dismissed claims that Yan Diomandé's transfer to Real Madrid is complete, stating the deal has not yet reached the stage suggested by recent reports.

RB Leipzig have publicly denied claims that Yan Diomandé's transfer to Real Madrid has been completed, casting doubt on recent reports that suggested the deal was already done.
Speaking about the speculation, Leipzig CEO Marcel Schäfer rejected the widely circulated "Here We Go" update from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, insisting negotiations have not reached that point.
"It is clear that some so-called transfer experts claimed a few days ago that the deal was done or announced a 'Here We Go'. That is simply NOT true. We are NOT at that stage yet."
The statement marks the strongest response yet from Leipzig regarding the future of the highly rated youngster, who has been heavily linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
While Real Madrid remain interested in signing Diomandé, the German club's comments suggest that discussions are still ongoing and that no final agreement has been reached between the two clubs.
The denial comes after widespread reports indicated the transfer was all but completed. Leipzig's stance now raises fresh uncertainty over whether the deal will be finalized before the transfer window closes.
For now, Diomandé remains an RB Leipzig player, with negotiations expected to continue in the coming days.
