Moussa Diaby is at a crossroads. Stay at Aston Villa and play in the Champions League, or go to Saudi Arabia?Al-Ittihad put not less than €55m on the table, the same amount that Aston Villa paid to Bayer Leverkusen last year for the prolific 25-year-old French winger of Malian descent. Interestingly, Saudis were interested in Diaby even then, offering €40m.There is still no final agreement between the clubs nor between Diaby and Al-Ittihad. Many reliable sources claim that Villa wants to raise the price.There are only five categories that men fall into when in suits:1) Look like you’re going to a wedding 2) Look like you’re going to a funeral3) Look like you’re going to a job interview 4) Look like you’re going to court. 5) Moussa Diaby 🔥 pic.twitter.com/GcqmMG8IQn— Dani (@beds_villafan) May 14, 2024 On the other hand, the French media have written about the potential salary of Diaby in Jeddah in recent days. In Birmingham, he earns €4,5m, while in Saudi Arabia, he should have €15m. So, more than triple.Unai Emery sees Diaby as an important part of the squad that beat both Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League last season, rivals who fought for the title until the final matchday of the season. But it is clear that there is no reason to keep a player in the club against his will. And everything points to the fact that Diaby is more interested in money than in playing top football.##NAJAVA_MECA_8216336##Although he was not a starter for the entire season, the Paris Saint-Germain academy graduate was very close to a double-double performance. In 54 games in all competitions, he scored ten goals and added nine assists.If an agreement is reached by all three parties, it will be the first major move to Saudi Arabia in the current transfer window. Newly promoted Al-Ittihad coach Laurent Blanc obviously intends to build a French colony there. Karim Benzema and N’golo Kante are already there, and Diaby would certainly enjoy himself more in the company of his compatriots.
