Diomande has become the centre of a battle being waged inside agents’ offices. Maxidel managed the striker’s transfer to Leipzig, one of its most prominent players.
Look no further than the company’s Instagram account for proof. The photo pinned at the top shows Diomande signing with Leipzig alongside Jean Marcial Loubelo, the lead agent at Maxidel. That is neither chance nor oversight.
Leipzig deal with Maxidel too, the company the player authorised to negotiate his future.
A few months ago, though, Diomande wanted to step up to a bigger level. He chose to become one of the most prominent new faces on the roster of Roc Nation, a company with a strong presence in the football market, particularly in Brazil, through Frederico Pena, who also manages the affairs of Vinicius Junior and Endrick, among others. From here, the dispute between the two parties arose.
The African talent visited the company’s New York offices during his summer holiday, which he continued to spend in the United States after the World Cup ended.
Real Madrid negotiated with Roc Nation specifically to complete the deal. Los Blancos now await a swift decision on this dispute between the player’s agents. So does Diomande, currently in Leipzig, his thoughts already set on a return to Madrid.
