Moussa Diaby

In early 2026, Inter Milan's pursuit led to multiple reported offers, including loan-to-buy packages valued at approximately €30 million, €32 million, and most frequently €35 million, all of which were rejected. During this period, Al-Ittihad's asking price was reportedly €40 million, and they were said to be unwilling to accept less than €28 million. Transfermarkt's valuation was cited as €28 million in January 2026 and €30 million in June 2025. This followed Moussa Diaby's completed transfer from Aston Villa to Al-Ittihad for a reported €60 million in July 2024, and his prior move from Bayer Leverkusen to Aston Villa for €55 million in July 2023.

Our valuation is driven by the very recent and detailed reports of negotiations between Inter Milan and Al-Ittihad in January and February 2026. Multiple sources indicate Inter offered packages culminating in a purchase obligation around €35 million, while Al-Ittihad's asking price for Moussa Diaby was reportedly €40 million. This range reflects the clear negotiation positions of the buyer and seller, a significant decrease from his €60 million transfer in 2024, which is logical given his desire to return to European football.
