Yan Diomandé is changing the game at Real Madrid. The Ivorian international, signed for €125 million, was considered too discreet since his arrival. But in recent weeks, he has been putting in encouraging performances and gaining ground in the Madrid hierarchy.
According to the Spanish press, the former Antwerp player is now pushing Vinicius and other key players to the bench. His activity, his drive, and his defensive involvement are working in his favor. The Bernabéu crowd is beginning to recognize his work.
He still needs to confirm this over the long term. But Diomandé has already reversed a trend that seemed to be heading badly. This is enough to reignite competition within Carlo Ancelotti's squad, who will have to make strong choices in the coming weeks.
