Diaby towards Bayer Leverkusen: verbal agreement until 2031

The return of Moussa Diaby to Bayer Leverkusen is becoming increasingly concrete. According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Deutschland, the French player, who in recent weeks had been linked to Inter, has reached a verbal agreement with the German club for a contract valid until 2031.

After the withdrawal of the Nerazzurri, Diaby expressed a strong desire to return to Germany. Bayer Leverkusen is now negotiating with Al Ittihad, the player’s current team, to finalize the deal. However, the negotiations are proving to be complicated and are not yet close to completion.

Plettenberg reported: “Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Moussa Diaby have reached a full verbal agreement on a contract until 2031. Diaby wants to return to Leverkusen. Negotiations with Al-Ittihad are ongoing but complicated and not yet close to conclusion. Leverkusen is pushing to reach an agreement.”

The situation therefore remains in flux, with the German club continuing to work to bring Diaby back to the Bundesliga after his stint in Saudi Arabia.
