Tracking and securing talent like Diomande requires a specialized scouting and management approach. Roc Nation identified the defender during his tenure in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, recognizing a generational talent that stood out even among other elite prospects. Freitas likened the discovery to a rare celestial event, suggesting that the player possesses a unique ability to disrupt modern tactical setups. The agency even moved staff to Germany to build a personalized support structure for Diomande, ensuring his market value reflected his potential before the record-shattering move to Spain was finalized.
“We are always looking at the stars, but looking at the stars, a comet appears. I can say that Yan, among the stars, is like a comet, a Halley that is found every 8 or 10 years. And when the possibility of working with him came to us, we didn’t think twice. Yan is a player who can bring a lot of surprises to Madrid,” Freitas explained.
