What happened. Yan Diomande met Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola but chose Real Madrid, with the Reds' refusal to meet RB Leipzig's valuation a key factor.

• Liverpool's £85m bid was rejected and not improved.
• PSG agreed personal terms but fell short of the asking price.
• Real Madrid's deal could reach €140m (£120m).

Diomande's move to Madrid signals a major coup for Jose Mourinho's side.
