Mousa Diaby can be a good option for many clubs in this summer transfer as the English club Aston Villa has shown interest for the 24-year-old.
Al Nassr is the first club that wanted to buy the midfielder after signing Marcelo Brozovic from Inter. The right-wing defender would have completed a massive transfer. But, some obstacles interrupted this operation. First, the young age of the player makes him an attractive option for many European Clubs.
The other reason is the Saudi Pro League does not participate in high-level continental competition. Meanwhile, the idea of playing in the UEFA Champions League tempts the player not to leave Leverkusen. Probably Europe and European Clubs are the right options for the young defender, who has speed and stamina.
Aston Villa Movement
In the front door is Aston Villa and with the signings of Pau Torres from Villareal and Tielemans on a free track from Leicester, Coach Emery has a strong group for the next season.
He has built a squad that is fast on the counter and attacks with both wings. According to Transfermarkt Diaby’s speed will increase the level of the game in the English Club. Furthermore according to Bundesliga stats his crosses and his presence in the third part of the pitch are a weapon for each coach.
Xabi Alonso knows the qualities of the defender and would let him go for a good price. After all, they paid only 15 million Euros to get him from PSG, two seasons ago. Now he is one of the main players in the squad. Diaby contributed to the incredible climb that Alonso made to the squad last season. He was the top scorer of the recent Bundes season with nine goals and the best top scorer with 14 goals.
According to the Athletic Journal, the two clubs have reached an agreement for the sum of 45 million £. Sky Sport Deutschland confirms the news as further explanations will be public by both clubs.
