🤑 Leganés pull off the deal of the century with Diomande sale | OneFootball

After being relegated to the second division, Leganés has sold Yan Diomande, one of its most valuable players, and the deal is a lucrative one.

The team has transferred the young talent from the Ivory Coast (18 years old) to RB Leipzig for the 20 million euros stipulated in his release clause, but there's more.

In addition, the Madrid-based team will receive a percentage of any future sale. No more value can be squeezed out of this asset, as they signed him as a free agent for the reserve team in 2024 when he was shining with the U17 national team of his home country.

The winger is leaving Leganés after playing 10 games in the First Division and scoring two goals.

For the history books

Diomande's transfer from Leganés to Leipzig is one of the five most expensive transfers in the history of Spanish Second Division.

Only the transfers of Hasselbaink from Atlético to Chelsea (22.5 million), Pedri from Las Palmas to Barça (23), and Darwin Núñez from Almería to Benfica (34) surpass it.
