Inter Milan’s Diaby Transfer Hitting Obstacles: Latest Updates

Inter Pursues Moussa Diaby as Kristjan Asllani Emerges as Transfer Piece

According to sport.sky.it and spaziointer.it, Inter Milan continues to target 27-year-old French winger Moussa Diaby, preparing a new offer after Al-Ittihad rejected an initial bid of 20 million euros plus midfielder Kristjan Asllani. The proposed deal hinges on complex financial adjustments and player willingness, as reported by both outlets.

The Financial Obstacle in the Diaby Negotiations

According to spaziointer.it, the primary roadblock in bringing Moussa Diaby back to Europe is his massive salary of 15 million euros per season at Al-Ittihad. To make the transfer economically sustainable for Inter Milan, the player would need to accept a salary cut of roughly one third, or the Saudi club would need to subsidize a portion of his wages. Conversely, sport.sky.it notes that the economic front regarding wages may not actually block the move entirely, as the player would reportedly accept a salary of around 6 million euros per season to return to European football, leaving the door open for a renewed bid.

Kristjan Asllani’s Position on the Saudi Move

According to spaziointer.it, citing Il Giorno, Kristjan Asllani has opened up to a potential transfer to Al-Ittihad as part of the exchange, despite initially preferring to stay in Europe.

Bayer Leverkusen and Future Market Steps

According to sport.sky.it, Moussa Diaby has not yet given a definitive green light to Bayer Leverkusen, which keeps Inter Milan actively in the race.
