Yann Diomande rejected offers from Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain before choosing Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old Ivorian has become one of the most interesting new signings of the “royal club“ after his strong season with RB Leipzig. After lengthy negotiations, Real Madrid managed to reach an agreement with the German club for the transfer of the young striker, who signed a long-term contract and is now part of the “Santiago Bernabeu“ squad.

It turns out that Diomande had other serious options. His agent Nathan Campbell revealed that Liverpool and PSG made offers to the player, but he did not hesitated to choose the Spanish giants.

“He had offers from Liverpool and PSG, but he chose Real Madrid. There was no doubt about it. It was his dream“, said his representative.
