Al Ittihad reject Inter’s first offer for Moussa Diaby | OneFootball

Inter have reached a complete agreement on personal terms with Moussa Diaby, but the move remains on hold as they await a green light from Saudi Arabia.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the French winger has expressed a strong desire to join the Nerazzurri and is even willing to take a significant wage cut to facilitate the transfer. Despite this breakthrough with the player, the operation is currently stalled by Al-Ittihad and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) owners.

The Saudi club has yet to grant approval for Inter’s proposed formula, which consists of an initial loan with an option to buy. Beyond the financial structure, Al-Ittihad are hesitant to sanction the departure of the former Bayer Leverkusen star without first securing a suitable replacement. It is a task made difficult by the very limited time remaining in the January window.

While Diaby is pushing for the move to Milan, Inter must now wait to see if the PIF will soften their stance on the loan formula or if Al-Ittihad can find a successor in the final hours of the market.
