It is reported that an agreement has been reached on a five-year contract with the footballer from the Ivory Coast national team. Currently, Real's priority is to quickly complete this transfer so that Diodmand can join training under head coach José Mourinho by the end of the week.
Initially, it was expected that Diodmand's transfer would be officially closed at the beginning of the week. However, due to some disagreements between the clubs, the process has been delayed. Consequently, the talks regarding Rodri, scheduled for Tuesday, have been postponed.
Despite this delay, it is asserted that Real's plans to acquire Rodri remain unchanged.
