Yan Diomande has joined RB Leipzig's pre-season training camp in Austria amid ongoing speculation about a move to Real Madrid.
Ivory Coast winger Diomande, 19, missed the start of the camp due to illness and club officials had insisted on his presence in Saalfelden once he was healthy again.
Sources told dpa that talks with Real are continuing, but without a breakthrough yet.
Real reportedly had a first offer of €105 million ($121 million) rejected by Leipzig, who are said to want a guaranteed sum of €120 million. Another alleged issue is a dispute between Diomande's past and present agent companies.
Diomande came to Leipzig a year ago for €20 million from Spain's Leganes. He impressed with 12 goals and nine **** ists and also caught the eye playing for Ivory Coast at the recent World Cup.

Rômulo scored nine goals and provided four ****** ists in 30 Bundesliga appearances in his maiden campaign for RB Leipzig, helping the Saxony club secure a place in this season's UEFA Champions League.
And now, speaking during his team's training camp in Saalfelden, the Brazilian has expressed his excitement at the upcoming season and his desire to remain at Leipzig.
"I'm happy here and I've now adapted to the league and the club," he explained. "I want to stay here for as long as possible and play for Leipzig in the Bundesliga and the Champions League." The latter of which "is every footballer's dream."
Martín Demichelis replaced Ole Werner this summer, but Rômulo relishes playing under the Argentine coach. "It's a different style [of football]," he said.
"Micho wants us to have more possession and greater control. I need to control the ball well and hold it up, help the team, link the play and create chances."
