Inter Inquires About Former Aston Villa Winger Diaby
Inter Milan has expressed interest in acquiring Moussa Diaby, a former Aston Villa winger. Reports indicate that the club has made inquiries about the 26-year-old player, currently with Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. Diaby is reportedly interested in returning to European football after spending 18 months in the Middle East.
Details of Inter’s Enquiry for Moussa Diaby
According to sources from Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport Italia, Inter Milan reached out to explore the possibility of signing Diaby. The French international, who has earned 11 caps for his national team, previously played for Eintracht Frankfurt before moving to Aston Villa. He has been a significant player for Al Ittihad since joining them.
Al Ittihad’s Stance
Al Ittihad is reportedly hesitant to part ways with Diaby. The club invested €60 million in him during the summer of 2024, making his departure a complex issue.
Moussa Diaby’s Career Background
- Started his career on loan at Crotone from Paris Saint-Germain in the 2017-18 season.
- Had a brief stint in Serie A, making two appearances.
- Currently plays as a winger for Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.
Potential Role at Inter Milan
Inter Milan is considering using Diaby in a different position than he is accustomed to, potentially as a right wing-back in Cristian Chivu’s 3-5-2 formation. This strategic shift arises from the injury to Denzel Dumfries and interest from other clubs in summer signing Luis Henrique.
Future Developments
As the transfer window approaches, Inter could pursue several options, including negotiating a loan deal with an option to buy for Diaby. The club is also reportedly in discussions with PSV Eindhoven regarding Ivan Perisic’s potential return.
