Benfica is monitoring Al-Ittihad's 27-year-old French winger, Moussa Diaby, who is also of interest to other clubs. It is reported that both Inter Milan and his former club Bayer Leverkusen have submitted offers of approximately €20 million. Al-Ittihad rejected both proposals as the club is demanding a higher fee, though discussions are ongoing. Diaby, who has 11 caps for France, had previously agreed to a summer move to Sunderland, but the transfer did not proceed because he could not obtain the required points for a work permit to play in England. His contract with Al-Ittihad runs until June 30, 2029, and his market value is currently €25.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
