The track leading to Moussa Diaby remains alive, although complicated. The French winger is among the profiles being followed to strengthen the right flank, but the high costs and competition make the operation difficult. Added to these obstacles is the issue of departures, the same one that is blocking the move for Romero.
According to the Arab outlet Slaati, however, the situation could experience a temporary pause. Jens Wissing, coach of Al-Ittihad, is said to have requested to postpone the player’s transfer by a few days. The reason is linked to a decisive commitment for the Saudi club.
Next Tuesday, Al-Ittihad will face Al-Jazira in the AFC Champions League Elite qualifiers, the top continental competition in Asia. The away match in the United Arab Emirates represents a crucial appointment: a victory would guarantee access to the most important club tournament in Asia. For this reason, Wissing would like to field the best possible lineup in the single match against the Emirati team, which would also include Diaby.
In the meantime, Inter is watching. Whether it is the Nerazzurri club or Bayer Leverkusen to close the deal, at the moment the situation is frozen. The cup match could therefore shift the timing and, perhaps, even the balance of the negotiation.
