The recent transfer business carried out by La Liga giants Real Madrid could have a direct knock-on effect on arch rivals Barcelona.
This comes with Los Blancos’ deal for Yan Diomandé potentially set to accelerate the departure of a current member of Hansi Flick’s squad.
The Santiago Bernabéu brass are of course fresh off tying up their latest high-profile agreement, to add to the attacking ranks of incoming manager José Mourinho.
After a quickfire round of negotiations, Real are understood to be on the verge of announcing the signing of the aforementioned Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig.
🚨💣 BREAKING: YAN DIOMANDE TO REAL MADRID, HERE WE GO! ⚪️✨

And these developments could imminently impact the plans of those in the boardroom at none other than Barcelona.
As per a report from Diario Sport:
‘For PSG, Diomande’s move to Madrid has accelerated things on the market. The French club will now try to secure Ferran Torres’ OK in the next few days to start their offensive with Barça. They believe that everything is on track to achieve the signing of the Barcelona striker.’
Expect further updates on Ferran’s immediate future over the days ahead…
