Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of highly rated Ivorian teenager Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig on a contract running until 30 June 2033.
The Spanish club announced the agreement on Thursday, completing the arrival of the 18-year-old as part of their continued focus on recruiting and developing emerging talent.
Real Madrid confirmed the length of the deal in a statement, saying: “Real Madrid CF and RB Leipzig have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Yan Diomande, who will be linked to our club for the next seven seasons, until June 30, 2033.”
The move takes Diomande to the 15-time European champions after his performances and progress at RB Leipzig established him as one of the German club’s most promising young players.
He now begins the next stage of his career in Spain, where he will continue his development at the Santiago Bernabeu alongside some of the leading players in world football.
For Real Madrid, the signing is another indication of their long-term recruitment strategy. The club have increasingly sought to secure young players with significant potential and provide them with a route towards the first-team environment.
Diomande’s arrival strengthens that approach, with the Ivorian now committed to Real Madrid for the next seven seasons. His contract will keep him at the club until 30 June 2033.
The agreement marks a major step for Diomande as he moves from RB Leipzig to one of the biggest clubs in European football. Having been regarded as one of RB Leipzig’s brightest young prospects, he will now aim to make his mark in Madrid and establish himself at the club.
Real Madrid’s decision to secure his services reflects their belief in his ability and potential. The club have made investment in emerging talent a central part of their planning, and Diomande becomes the latest young player to join that project.
The 18-year-old will begin a new chapter in Spain under a long-term contract, with his development now continuing at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid have not provided any further details of the agreement beyond confirming the transfer and the duration of his deal.
