PSG Withdraws from Diomandé Deal, Real Madrid Seals Transfer

Paris Saint-Germain officially announced this evening that it has withdrawn from the race to sign Ivorian winger Yann Diedhiou, confirming the end of all negotiations and offers made to acquire the player's services during the current summer transfer window.

The French club clarified in an official statement that the required transfer fee, along with the financial demands regarding the salary, do not align with their financial policy, considering them excessive and distorting the transfer market.

Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed that it will not compromise its principles regarding sound financial management and maintaining balance within the squad, stating that its recent successes, which saw them crowned Champions League winners twice in a row, will not lead them to engage in deals that do not align with their strategy.

The club stated that its transfer policy will remain based on calm planning and well-considered decisions, rejecting involvement in what it described as "inflationary and manipulative practices" carried out by some player agents.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Real Madrid has officially finalized the transfer for over €100 million, with a contract lasting five years.
