The information, released on Thursday, attributes the direction of the negotiations to president Florentino Pérez.
The story, picked up by the Spanish sports press, does not specify the exact transfer fee, the selling club, the player's age or the length of the contract. Nor does it include direct quotes from Florentino Pérez or club representatives.
No independent confirmation
The final outlay has not been independently confirmed. Expansión does not give the figure in the visible portion of its report. It is also unclear whether the deal includes add-ons, sell-on clauses or collaboration agreements between clubs.
The Madrid club had issued no statement by the time of going to press. The player's camp has also made no public comment.
A record without a verifiable figure
The absence of an official figure makes it impossible to compare this deal with Real Madrid's previous spending records. The only verifiable element is Expansión's headline: the signing of Diomande, according to the business paper, exceeds all the club's previous outlays on a single player. Without the fee, that claim cannot be checked against known historical records.
Official confirmation of the terms of the agreement from the club or the player remains outstanding.
