Fabrizio Romano has reported that Yan Diomande has rejected the chance to join Arsenal<\/a> and work with manager Mikel Arteta and has verbally agreed a deal on personal terms with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

On July 18, the transfer guru first reported Arsenal making calls to sign Diomande<\/a>, who had a deal in place on personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain at the time.<\/p>\n

Romano<\/a> said on his\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThen talking about the wingers\u2019 market, we have to see how Arsenal will react \u2013 wingers and strikers \u2013 because this depends on opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, just to give you some context, Arsenal over the last few days made some checks with the agents of Yan Diomande from Red Bull Leipzig to understand if there was still a chance to enter the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut don\u2019t forget Diomande has an agreement on personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain, and Paris Saint-Germain are in negotiations with Leipzig.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, for example, Arsenal made some calls to understand the situation of Diomande, just to give you context of what happened over the recent days.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Saturday morning, Romano reported that Madrid have had a bid for Diomande rejected<\/a> and noted Arsenal and Man City\u2019s interest in him.<\/p>\n

Romano posted on X at 2:49am on July 25: \u201cManchester City and Arsenal<\/a> made calls for Yan Diomande over last 10 days but player\u2019s not opening doors.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo bids from PL + only club going all in to face PSG is Real Madrid with first \u20ac90m plus \u20ac10m bid rejected by RB Leipzig.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yan Diomande rejects Arsenal for Real Madrid<\/p>\n

Romano said on his\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a> on Saturday evening: \u201cMan City already tried, but it was a few days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cArsenal also tried, but it was a few days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was one week ago when Manchester City, Arsenal tried to get in touch with people close to the player and tried to understand if there was a chance to enter the deal, but the answer from Yan Diomande was not to open doors to English clubs, and at this stage, nothing has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romano added on X<\/a> at 8:09pm on July 25: \u201cReal Madrid have verbally agreed on personal terms with Yan Diomande.<\/p>\n

\u201cSame as Paris Saint-Germain in June, Real also have player\u2019s green light on terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal set to return with new bid to Leipzig after \u20ac90m plus \u20ac10m rejected.<\/p>\n

\u201cPSG, in contact again today to try until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze reported on X at 10:42pm on July 25: \u201cAfter PSG, Real Madrid have now also reached a verbal agreement with Yan Diomande.<\/p>\n

\u201cA contract until 2031 is in place, while negotiations over the transfer fee are ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cA \u20ac100m bid has already been rejected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe final fee will also depend on whether Diomande joins immediately or is signed and loaned back to RB Leipzig for the 2026\/27 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn immediate transfer would increase the fee, while a loan-back would lower it.\u201d<\/p>\n
