Bayer Leverkusen set €100 million price tag on Real Madrid target

Real Madrid are planning for a blockbuster summer transfer window in the coming months, with several star signings expected to light up the Santiago Bernabeu. While negotiations with certain targets like Kylian Mbappe are close to being completed, some targets remain in the scouting phase. One such young talent is Moussa Diaby.

The Bayer Leverkusen forward has taken Bundesliga by storm this season, leading the charge for his team. He has recorded 15 goals and nine assists across all competitions for the German side, making him one of the most sought after forwards in world football.

Real Madrid see the 22-year-old as the missing piece in their puzzle. Los Blancos wish to reinforce their squad with dynamic wingers, and Diaby is one of the best in the business.

According to reports from L’Equipe, as relayed via Fichajes, Bayer Leverkusen have slapped a price of €100 million against his name to deter any interested parties.

The German side do not want to lose their star for a low price, and the nine-digit figure is seen as a fair price in the inflated market.

It would be difficult to imagine Real Madrid shelling out such a large amount for one player when they have multiple positions to reinforce. Moreover, the arrival of Mbappe, coupled with Vinicius Jr’s incredible form, may make Diaby’s signing less of a necessity for Florentino Perez’s team.

In 23 league starts this season, the Frenchman averages two shots and 1.6 key passes per game. He has created ten big chances and missed three during the same duration.
