What happened. Inter are reportedly interested in signing Moussa Diaby as a replacement for Denzel Dumfries, who joined Real Madrid.

• Diaby earns a net salary of €15m in Saudi Arabia, possibly over €20m with bonuses.
• Inter have already signed John Stones, Ivan Provedel, and Aleksandar Stankovic this summer.
• Chivu said the team might need another winger, with patience needed in the transfer window.

“It depends on how you look at it. Maybe we’re missing one on the left. We have three wingers at the moment, or rather three and a half because Carlos (Augusto) can play there as well.”

— Cristian Chivu

Inter must convince Diaby to take a significant pay cut to join, which could be a major hurdle.
