PSG gave him up for ‘pocket change’, Leverkusen are now asking 66 million USD

Last season, he was a part of Leverkusen’s dynamic duo with Leon Bailey. The Jamaican went to Aston Villa for 35 million USD last August, and Moussa Diaby could follow in similar footsteps for almost twice as much money. The second scorer of the Pharmacist enjoys great interest from Premier League clubs, above all Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle, and since Diaby does not have a buyout clause in his contract, the Bundesliga team has already set the price – 66 million USD.That is four times more money than the compensation that Leverkusen paid to Paris Saint-Germain on July 1, 2019, and 16.5 million USD less than the market value determined by Transfermarkt. It seems that the Parisians gave up too easily (for a small amount) a guy who delivered 16 goals in all competitions this season, 12 of them in the Bundesliga. Two and a half years ago, PSG could not see Diaby playing regularly as untouchable Neymar held in the position of left-wing striker with Julian Draxler also being an option. However, it is impossible that today the Parisian giants do not regret it.Sun 19:30: (3.05) Wolfsburg (3.40) Leverkusen (2.45)He is a native of Paris who scores and sets up goals almost equally well. Statistics show – 115 matches since arriving at the Bay Arena, he found the back of the net 34 times while his teammates scored 32 goals after his final pass. One of the biggest virtues in his is the ability to instill fear in rivals on the right side as well, not just on the left, which is in a way more natural position to him.His numbers are incredible if you compare the previous season to this one. He scored four and set up 12 goals in 32 league matches during the previous campaign while in the current – after 24 matches in the Bundesliga, he already has 12 goals and seven assists. He also appeared on the list of the French national team, which was published during the day by Didier Deschamps, under whose coaching he has four call-ups for Les Bleus, but he is still awaiting his national team debut.Maybe the information from the well-informed German media Sport 1 that Man United are asking for Diaby seems a bit illogical since they brought Jaydon Sancho, but don’t forget that Moussa is equally deadly on the right side, and the big question is when and if the Red Devils will see the return of Mason Greenwood, a super-talented right-wing who is off the pitch for a while now due to accusations of sexual abuse.Much deserved France call-up for Leipzig talisman, Ivory Coast and South Africa – beware!Arsenal have only Gabriel Martinelli on the left-wing (although Emil Smith Rowe often plays there), and Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe are on the left. Newcastle perhaps need Diaby the most because no one in the existing roster can match him. After all – Alan Saint-Maximin shows glimpses of mastery but is too inconsistent and often injured.
