Diaby back in the spotlight for the wing, Asllani possible counterpart

The name of Diaby is once again being linked to Inter as a reinforcement for the right flank. The spot left vacant by Dumfries remains open, even though Chivu intends to give value to Diouf. After the friendly against Manchester City, the coach reiterated the need for another wing-back.

The French player from Al-Ittihad had already been considered in January, when the Dutchman was injured. The French winger is set to leave the Jeddah club and seven months ago had already given his consent to the move to the Nerazzurri. He would be willing to do so again, but the resistance from the Saudi club still needs to be resolved.

This time Inter would have an extra card to play: Kristjan Asllani. The Albanian, out of the squad and valued between 10 and 12 million, could be included in the deal. This move would solve two issues: the departure of a midfielder no longer in the project and the arrival of the long-awaited right winger, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Diaby has never left the Nerazzurri coach’s thoughts because of his characteristics: not just a wing-back, but above all an attacking winger, a valuable resource for a coach who wants the team to become more aggressive and vertical. Moreover, he would also move naturally on the opposite flank. Technical, tactical, and economic evaluations are underway. Chivu summed up the situation in a few words: “We need to choose well.”
