A meeting with Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola reportedly left the 19-year-old concerned that the club was entering a transitional period, while José Mourinho's fluent French conversation and detailed development plan helped persuade him to join Madrid. The transfer is worth up to €140 million, including performance-related bonuses, with Diomande signing a seven-year contract.
