The Spanish club is now actively pursuing 19-year-old Ivorian talent Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, with negotiations reportedly advancing on a deal worth approximately \u20ac120 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real Madrid is keen to strengthen its attacking options before the transfer window closes. Their handling of the Olise situation highlights the club\u2019s dedication to maintaining positive relationships with other top European clubs while exploring alternative player
