Initially, they were the first club to reach an agreement with the player for a summer transfer before Real Madrid intervened unexpectedly. The club is visibly frustrated and remains a strong competitor in the race.

Liverpool and Manchester City are also monitoring the situation, having shown interest in the player for an extended period. However, Diomande has not expressed significant interest in Premier League offers.
Currently, Real Madrid and PSG are the frontrunners for Diomande, with Los Blancos holding a slight advantage in the ongoing competition. A resolution is unlikely until next week, pending the player’s return from vacation.
