The future of Moussa Diaby seems to be taking a different direction compared to what was expected just a few days ago. The French winger appeared to be on his way out of Al Ittihad, with Inter having already negotiated for him in January and recently reigniting contacts. However, the position of the Saudi club has undergone a turnaround.

According to broadcaster Itti Studio, the management of Al Ittihad no longer intends to let Diaby leave. The main reason concerns the trust that coach Jens Fischer places in the player, on whom he has relied heavily during the preseason training camp. Furthermore, the Arab club believes that the offer made by Bayer Leverkusen does not meet their financial expectations.

The club had initially shown openness to selling the Frenchman, but now the stance has changed. Only an offer exceeding 40 million euros could persuade the management to authorize the player’s departure.
