Inter hot on the trail of former Aston Villa man Moussa Diaby | OneFootball

Inter are making inquiries about Al-Ittihad’s Moussa Diaby, with the French winger reportedly pushing for a return to Europe.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, while the Nerazzurri have made an initial assessment of the Al Ittihad winger, it’s far from a simple move. The Saudi club are reluctant to part with the player, but the French wideman’s position could force the move to fruition, as he’s pushing for a return to the continent that saw some interesting spells with PSG and Aston Villa.

Inter’s management is currently working on a loan deal with an option to buy. Diaby, also formerly of now-Serie C side Crotone, joined Al Ittihad two years ago for €60 million after scoring 10 and assisting nine in 54 games across all competitions for the West Midlands club.

Admittedly, the 26-year-old Frenchman is a surprise name in the right-sided conversation within Chivu’s 3-5-2 formation. With several teams interested in Luis Henrique, and Dumfries injured, the Nerazzurri management is considering giving him the wing in a slightly different role. This deal, however, is not an alternative to the Perisic option.

In one slim link, the 11-time French international already knows Inter. In August 2024, in fact, he scored a brace in a friendly against the Nerazzurri.
