Report Inter improve Diaby offer to battle Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

Inter are set to make an improved offer to Al-Ittihad for Moussa Diaby, claim Sky Sport Italia, worth over €20m plus Kristjan Asllani, as he hesitates over Bayer Leverkusen.

The right-sided winger is seen as an ideal heir to Denzel Dumfries, who was sold to Real Madrid for the cost of his release clause this summer.

The 27-year-old France international only joined Al-Ittihad in 2024, and there have been reports that Bayer Leverkusen are close to agreeing a fee with his club for under €30m.

However, Sky Sport Italia claim that Diaby is hesitating over this move back to Germany, as he is more intrigued by the idea of coming to Inter for a brand new adventure.

The issue here is for the Nerazzurri to satisfy Al-Ittihad as well as cover the €6m per season salary, with the player accepting a pay cut for a return to European football.

An opening proposal worth €20m plus Albania international Asllani was rejected, but it’s reported Inter are planning a new and improved offer within hours.

Italian football is not entirely new to Diaby either, as he had a brief spell at Crotone back in 2018.
