Bayer Leverkusen, Al-Ittihad and Moussa Diaby
Tuesday
Bayer Leverkusen are progressing in talks to bring Moussa Diaby back from Al-Ittihad for a fee below €30m. No final agreement has been reached, but negotiations are described as advanced and the winger wants to return to Germany.
Diaby is reportedly prepared to accept a major salary reduction after maintaining contact with Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes. The Frenchman previously produced 96 goal contributions in 172 appearances and is viewed as a natural fit for the club’s system.
