PSG plot late hijack for Real Madrid target Yan Diomande

Paris Saint-Germain are preparing a potential last-minute surprise that could disrupt Real Madrid's transfer plans. Despite Real Madrid working on a deal for 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande, PSG are reportedly re-engaging in the race.

According to L'Équipe, Real Madrid and RB Leipzig have not yet reached a final agreement for the Ivorian winger, with the deal estimated to be worth between 50 and 55 million euros. New intermediaries, said to be much closer to the Parisian club, have reportedly attempted to re-establish contact with the player's camp.

While PSG had previously officially announced their withdrawal from the pursuit, the increasing likelihood of Bradley Barcola's move to Liverpool has prompted the club to re-evaluate their options. Internally, PSG are aware that the player has an affinity for the Parisian project due to family ties and is attracted by the prospect of playing under Luis Enrique.

Diomande continues to train with the German side as the saga unfolds. The situation remains fluid, with the outcome likely depending on whether Real Madrid can finalise their agreement before PSG launches a definitive counter-move.
