The age claim about Yan Diomande, who plays for Real Madrid, has drawn attention. After an old photo allegedly taken in 2013 surfaced, showing the footballer who was known to be 19 years old, it was claimed that the player is actually 34 years old.
A photo claimed to have been taken of Yan Diomande in past years has brought discussions about the footballer's age. In the image, allegedly from 2013, the person claimed to be Diomande is seen on a football field wearing a Chelsea jersey.
CALCULATION SPARKS DEBATE
Diomande is currently known to be 19 years old. Accordingly, if the photo in question was indeed taken in 2013, the footballer would have to be around 6 years old in the image. However, following comments based on the physical appearance of the person in the photo, claims emerged that Diomande is older than his stated age.
CLAIM OF "REAL AGE 34"
After the debate grew, it was also alleged that the young footballer is actually 34 years old. However, it is not possible to determine a person's real age from a single photo. No verified official information has been shared confirming that the photo is truly from 2013, that the person in the image is definitively Diomande, or that the footballer is 34 years old. Therefore, the "34 years old" claim currently stands out as an unverified allegation.
