Sources: Diomande travels for Real Madrid medical

Yan Diomande has taken a significant step closer to joining Real Madrid after leaving RB Leipzig's preseason camp on Thursday to undergo a medical in Spain. According to sources close to the matter, the 24-year-old midfielder traveled to Spain to undergo the routine medical examination that is a prerequisite for completing his highly anticipated transfer to the Spanish giants.

The move to Real Madrid has been widely reported in recent weeks, with the German club initially holding out for a substantial fee before finally agreeing to a deal. Diomande's departure from Leipzig marks the end of a six-year association with the club, during which he established himself as one of the top midfielders in the Bundesliga.

The medical examination will provide Real Madrid with an opportunity to finalize their assessment of Diomande's fitness and any potential long-term injury concerns. If the medical is successful, Diomande is expected to put pen to paper on a contract that will see him become the latest addition to Real Madrid's star-studded squad. The move is seen as a significant coup for Real Madrid, who are looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.

With Diomande's medical examination now underway, all eyes will be on Real Madrid to confirm the transfer and officially announce the signing of the talented midfielder. The move is expected to be completed in the coming days, with Diomande set to become a key player in Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
