Inter Milan’s pursuit of Al-Ittihad winger Moussa Diaby has hit a significant roadblock, according to reports from Sky Sport. Club officials currently believe the necessary conditions to advance negotiations for the French player do not exist, forcing sporting management to evaluate alternative targets for the right flank.
The Breakdown in Negotiations Over Diaby
The transfer discussions stalled after Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad reportedly rejected an initial opening bid from Inter. According to coverage from FCInterNews, the Italian side had put forward an offer worth 20 million of euros alongside midfielder Kristjan Asllani, a proposal that failed to meet the valuation set by the club in Saudi Arabia.
With the operation for Diaby complicated, Inter’s leadership team is keeping alternative options open to address the right wing. Cristian Chivu remains in search of a wide player to reinforce the squad following the departure of Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid, having already seen previous moves for Marco Palestra and Anan Khalaili fall through, as noted by FCInter1908.
Djed Spence and Nico Gonzalez Emerge as Alternatives
As the Diaby deal loses momentum, Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence has re-entered the conversation for the Nerazzurri. According to details shared by journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the England international could leave London should a club meet a valuation of 30 million euros alongside 5 million euros in potential add-ons.
Alongside the English wing-back, Juventus winger Nico Gonzalez remains a secondary option on the radar in Viale della Liberazione. Gonzalez is currently viewed as out of the technical project in Turin under coach Luciano Spalletti, leaving his future open as the January transfer window progresses.
What Comes Next for Inter
Fans and analysts tracking the club’s winter market activity await official announcements from the club regarding upcoming fixtures and formal transfer completions.
