Serie A pacesetters Inter Milan are reportedly growing confident of signing Al-Ittihad winger Moussa Diaby.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Nerazzurri could sign the 26-year-old in the final days of the January transfer window.
Inter president Beppe Marotta confirmed the club’s interest in the lightning-fast forward ahead of tonight’s clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Despite highlighting the complexity of the deal, Marotta acknowledged Inter’s intention to bring Diaby back to Europe.
Inter Milan Confident of Signing Moussa Diaby
Diaby left Aston Villa to join Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2024, with the Saudi Pro League giants spending €60 million for the transfer.
However, the versatile winger could return to European football sooner than expected.
Inter reportedly view him as a potential long-term replacement for Denzel Dumfries, who could leave the club in the summer.
Meanwhile, Diaby’s arrival will not affect Inter’s pursuit of Ivan Perisic.
With PSV Eindhoven eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, the veteran star could return to San Siro.
It’s worth noting that Perisic has already informed Inter of his desire to come back.
He’s a fast, strong player with a good goal-scoring instinct, similar to Obafemi Martins. He might be better suited to a forward role, rather than a right-back, as players with his abilities tend to play alone and lack teamwork.
When Marotta downplay a negotiation you know he’s about to get it done
Inter management need to be tested for drugs during transfer windows. Their minds keeps flying everywhere like a dopefin
Kessie, Perisic and now this….what’s up with all these expired bums ?
perisic was meant to be a temporary solution. which is good because mid season we can’t afford young players who would need time to adapt.
How is he a replacement for Dumfries when hes a winger? I dont understand how they get this shot mixed up all the time
you know… dimas is also a very offensive minded player, with diaby who have pace, he would be able to do what he does (attack) and have the pace to close down attacks.
And you know fully well that he doesn’t give us that dribbling we need like all the other teams have. Thats why we always lose to big teams in the champions league.
as long as its a loan with an option to buy then idc. If we sign him outright we are a joke
