Real Madrid are in talks with RB Leipzig to buy Ivorian winger Yan Diomande, a source at the German club confirmed to AFP on Tuesday.
The source said negotiations with the Spanish giants were ongoing but dismissed media reports an agreement had already been reached.
Diomande, 19, is under contract until 2030 in Leipzig but has become one of European football’s hottest properties, particularly after starring for Ivory Coast at the World Cup.
In June, a source at Paris Saint-Germain told AFP that the European champions were interested in signing Diomande. The French club later pulled out after reported concerns about the size of the transfer fee.
Liverpool were also pursuing Diomande but reportedly had a bid rejected in June.
