Therefore, they will have to \u2018weather the storm\u2019, as the fee, documentation, and player\u2019s contract with Los Blancos are practically ready to go. But if they pay the wrong party, the Spanish side could get punished, hence why it needs to be ironed out.<\/p>\n<p>FIFA has reportedly received the complaint from Maxidel and is investigating it. AS says this falls under the topic of an International Transfer Certificate, which focuses on a dispute between agents over a player\u2019s representation rights.<\/p>\n<p>This can reportedly delay a transfer and in extreme cases prevent a registration of a player from happening. But, FIFA \u2018tends\u2019 to prioritise the player\u2019s right to work or play for their new club.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, Ivorian journalist Malick Traore said on the matter, \u201cReal Madrid are angry with Diomande\u2019s representatives at Roc Nation, after discovering that the player is still tied to a contract with other agents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So until these unexpected complications regarding commission and registration rights are sorted, Madrid fans may have to sit tight on this Diomande deal.<\/p>\n<p>If this does lead to a big delay, Madrid will have reason to want to keep Arsenal target Vinicius Junior even more.<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/five-reasons-vinicius-junior-join-arsenal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Five reasons for Vinicius Junior to join Arsenal rather than stay at Real Madrid<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yan Diomande\u2019s transfer to Real Madrid has been put on hold due to a reported dispute between the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1707,2758,82,273,83,8260,5384],"class_list":["post-64908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-madrid","tag-front-page","tag-home-page","tag-madrid","tag-news","tag-real-madrid","tag-uncategorized","tag-yan-diomande"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
