Inter Milan's €40 Million Pursuit of Moussa Diaby

Inter Milan have come back for Moussa Diaby, and this time they are putting real money on the table.

The Italian giants have lodged a €40 million offer with Al-Ittihad for the France winger, according to media figure Mohammed Al-Bukairi. The proposal lands at a delicate moment for the Saudi club, just as Diaby has begun to silence his critics with a sharp, eye-catching pre-season.

Only a few months ago, questions swirled around him after a stuttering end to last term. Now he has responded the only way that matters: on the pitch. Reports from Al-Ittihad’s camp describe a player in top physical shape, driving at defenders, and showing the technical edge that once made him one of Europe’s most coveted wide men.

That resurgence has not gone unnoticed in Milan.

Inter’s interest is anything but new. They tried to prise Diaby away last summer, pushing hard for a deal. Al-Ittihad stood firm then, rejecting the advances and backing their project, even as the player was open to making the move.

This time, the situation feels more finely balanced.

Inside Al-Ittihad, the offer is being dissected from every angle. Technical staff are assessing what losing Diaby would mean for the team’s structure and attacking threat. Administrators are weighing the financial upside of a €40 million fee in a market that rarely offers second chances at that level.

The club know exactly what they have on their hands: a winger in form, with renewed confidence and a European powerhouse knocking at the door again.

Inter, for their part, sense an opportunity they were denied a year ago. The question now is whether Al-Ittihad will dig in once more, or whether this is the moment they finally cash in on a player whose value, and profile, are climbing again just as the window begins to tighten.
