What happened. Inter have revived their interest in Moussa Diaby as they search for a successor to Denzel Dumfries, but face stiff competition from Bayer Leverkusen for the Al-Ittihad winger.
- Diaby is Inter's first-choice option to fill the void left by Dumfries's move to Real Madrid.
- Inter's package includes Kristjan Asllani as makeweight plus cash, worth around €30m.
- Leverkusen are offering cash only and are reportedly closing in on a deal.
The club that first reaches agreement with Al-Ittihad will likely land Diaby, who is open to both Germany and Italy.
