RB Leipzig managing director Marcel Schäfer has denied that the ongoing battle between Roc Nation and Max Gradel could derail the deal to take Yan Diomande to Real Madrid. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Disclosing that the transfer is yet to be completed, as Fabrizio Romano declared days ago, Marcel stated that the agency saga will not prevent a potential move from happening.
He added that Diomande remains a RB Leipzig player until any transfer is completed.
His words, “It’s clear that one or two so-called transfer experts announced a few days ago that the deal was done or ‘here we go’ — that’s simply not the case. It’s not that far along yet.
Yan is on the road to recovery, I spoke to him on the phone yesterday.
As soon as he’s recovered and feels ready, he’ll make the trip to Austria and join us. Yan is under contract with us, he’s our player.
From my perspective, a clear no.
That’s beyond my knowledge, there has been a change of agent, our contact person, as Yan clearly informed us, is Roc Nation.
I don’t believe that a transfer would fail because of this — if it even comes to fruition.”
