Inter Milan's €40m Bid for Moussa Diaby: A Serious Push

Inter Milan have come back for Moussa Diaby – and this time they are serious.

The Italian giants have lodged a €40 million offer with Al-Ittihad for the France winger, according to Saudi media figure Mohammed Al-Bukairi, in a move that could reshape both clubs’ attacking options before the window shuts.

Al-Ittihad are not rushing. The offer is on the table and, inside the club, it is being pulled apart from every angle – technical, financial, and administrative – as they weigh what Diaby means to their project against the sheer size of the bid.

What complicates the decision is Diaby himself. After a difficult end to last season that drew heavy criticism, he has responded in the most convincing way possible. His pre-season has been sharp and aggressive, both technically and physically, turning doubts into renewed belief. The winger has looked like a player on a mission, the kind who forces clubs to make uncomfortable choices.

Inter know this. They have been here before. Last summer, they tried to prise Diaby out of Jeddah, sensing an opportunity and a willing player. Al-Ittihad dug in, rejected the approach and held their line, even though the Frenchman was open to a move.

Now the dynamic feels different. A concrete €40m offer, a rejuvenated Diaby, and a boardroom in Jeddah locked in deliberation.

Inter have made their play again. The next move belongs to Al-Ittihad – and to a winger whose future could yet swing back towards Europe.
