Inter Milan Pursues Moussa Diaby with €40 Million Offer

Inter Milan have come back for Moussa Diaby, this time with money on the table and a clear intent to get the deal done.

The Italian giants have submitted a €40 million offer to Al-Ittihad for the France winger, according to media figure Mohammed Al-Bukairi, piling pressure on the Saudi club just weeks before the new season.

This is no opportunistic move. Diaby has forced his way back into the spotlight with a sharp, aggressive pre-season, answering the doubts that surrounded him at the end of last term. His performances have been described as both technically crisp and physically dominant, a direct response to the criticism that followed him into the summer.

Al-Ittihad now find themselves at a crossroads. The offer is serious. The timing, awkward. Club management are said to be dissecting the proposal from every angle — sporting, financial, and administrative — before making a call on whether to cash in or hold firm.

They know this story well. Inter tried to prise Diaby away last summer and were rebuffed, with Al-Ittihad digging in to keep one of their marquee attacking talents. The twist then was that the player himself was open to a move, but the club shut the door.

Now the situation feels more delicate. Diaby is in form, the bid is substantial, and the European window is moving quickly. Inter have come back with renewed determination.

The question is simple, and it won’t hang in the air for long: do Al-Ittihad double down on their project with Diaby at its heart, or does €40 million mark the moment they finally let him go?
