Marcel Schafer, the sporting director for the German club Leipzig, has issued a clarification regarding persistent media reports suggesting an agreement for the transfer of player Yan Diomandes to Real Madrid. Schafer confirmed that negotiations have not advanced to the stage of finalizing any transfer deal. The speculation surrounding Diomandes intensified following the player’s absence from Leipzig’s recent trip to Austria, where he reportedly missed the match citing illness, though he continued with individual training sessions.
Addressing the situation directly to Sky Sport Germany on Monday, the sporting director addressed the circulating rumors. “It is clear that some so-called transfer experts reported a few days ago that an agreement had been reached or that a departure signal had been given,” Schafer stated. He firmly refuted the claims, declaring, “This is simply not true.
We have not reached that stage yet.”
Schafer’s comments serve to dispel the notion that any commitment or finalized understanding exists between the club and the Spanish giants regarding the player’s future. The statement emphasizes that while discussions may be ongoing, the transfer process remains preliminary and has not culminated in a confirmed agreement. This clarification aims to manage expectations among the press and the fanbase concerning the immediate transfer status of the athlete.
