Inter is preparing a new bid for Moussa Diaby. According to Sky Sport, the Nerazzurri club remains in the running for the Al-Ittihad winger, with a new proposal expected in the coming days. The club is monitoring the situation, buoyed by the fact that the player has not yet accepted the offer from Bayer Leverkusen.
Journalist Valentina Mariani, speaking during the transfer market edition of Sky Sport, outlined the state of the negotiations: “Inter’s interest in Diaby has not faded. Bayer Leverkusen seemed to be strongly interested in Diaby, there was an offer from Leverkusen to Al-Ittihad but the player has not yet accepted, so Inter remains alert because a new bid will come. Inter’s first offer for Diaby was 20 million euros plus Asllani, an offer that was rejected.”
A crucial aspect concerns the Frenchman’s salary, initially considered an obstacle: “The salary, which seemed to be one of the most difficult conditions to meet, will not be a problem because the player is willing to lower his salary compared to what he earns in the Saudi League,” Mariani explained. Diaby’s willingness to reduce his financial demands has reopened the Nerazzurri’s pursuit.
Inter has returned strongly to the winger’s profile after realizing that the negotiations between Leverkusen and the player had not been concluded. The priority remains strengthening the flanks, as also confirmed by Chivu’s statements on the importance of adding a winger to the squad.
However, Diaby is not the only name on the list. Mariani added: “Be careful because he’s not the only name, there’s also Nico Gonzalez on the list, he has returned to Juventus from his loan at Atletico and Inter has made inquiries about Nico.” The club is therefore considering several options to complete the attacking department.
