Moussa Diaby transfer prospects uncertain following Roger Fernandes injury
The potential transfer of Moussa Diaby to Europe has become uncertain following a serious injury to Roger Fernandes. Diaby, currently with Al Ittihad, was reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen on a contract lasting until 2031. However, Fernandes recently suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training, which may complicate Leverkusen's transfer plans and Al Ittihad's willingness to release Diaby.
Inter Milan remains interested in the 27-year-old winger. While a previous proposal involving €20 million and player Kristjan Asllani was rejected, Inter is considering alternative offers to secure the player. Diaby is reportedly willing to accept a significant salary reduction to return to European football.
Tactically, Diaby would serve as an offensive winger for Inter, potentially filling a gap in their 3-5-2 formation. While his defensive contributions would require development to fit a wing-back role, his one-on-one abilities remain highly regarded. The situation remains fluid as Leverkusen and Inter monitor the impact of Fernandes' injury on the market.
