Report – Al-Ittihad Manager Unwilling To Let French Winger Join Inter Milan | OneFootball

Al-Ittihad manager Sergio Conceicao is reportedly reluctant to allow Moussa Diaby to join Inter Milan this winter.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira via FCInterNews, the former AC Milan boss will do everything to stop the Frenchman’s exit.

Conceicao, who took charge of Al-Ittihad in October, views Moussa Diaby as a key first-team member.

That’s not surprising, given that the 26-year-old has amassed two goals and five assists in 16 league appearances this season.

However, Inter’s interest has tempted the diminutive winger to reassess his options.

Despite being in the second year of his contract in Riyadh, Diaby has found Inter’s call too tempting to refuse.

Unfortunately, the Nerazzurri cannot match Al-Ittihad’s €60 million asking price.

Indeed, that’s the figure the Saudi Pro League heavyweights splashed to sign the Frenchman in 2024.

Furthermore, Sergio Conceicao considers Diaby too important to risk losing midway through the season.

Therefore, only a mind-blowing offer would convince Al-Ittihad to sanction the winger’s sale.
