Transfer Diabyja iz Aston Ville u Al Ittihad
It’s only been a year since Moussa Diaby joined Aston Villa, however, the Frenchman appears likely to be on the move once again. Al Ittihad are rumoured to be circling and given that the Saudi Pro League are understood to have almost endless reserves of cash available for the right players, it’s not likely to be too much longer before another Premier League star is persuaded to swap the cold English climate for the sunnier climbs of the Middle East. Indeed, talkSPORT note that the two clubs are in advanced talks for Diaby’s transfer, however, Al Ittihad will have to pay through the nose if they want to ensure the move goes through. The outlet suggest that Villa will only do business for £60m, which is markedly more than the £43m that the Midlands-based outfit paid for him 12 months ago. That’s unlikely to be an issue for the Saudi’s, and therefore it will surely only be a matter of time before any deal is rubber stamped. Whilst Diaby’s sale would inevitably weaken the Villains, the sale price does give them the option to go out and acquire a player of equal talent. Given Monchi’s record in the transfer market, Unai Emery and the Villa supporters can be assured that the profit from the Diaby deal will be well spent. With a Champions League campaign ahead as well as a tough domestic season, the quicker a deal can be completed the better for Villa, as it will allow them to build up the squad well ahead of the first match of the 2024/25 season.
Prošlo je tek godinu dana od kako je Moussa Diaby došao u Aston Villu, međutim, Francuz se čini da će ponovno biti u pokretu. Al Ittihad se spominje kao zainteresovan klub i obzirom da Saudijska Pro Liga navodno ima gotovo neograničene rezerve novca dostupne za prave igrače, nije vjerojatno da će proći mnogo vremena prije nego što još jedna zvijezda Premier lige bude uvjerena da zamijeni hladnu englesku klimu za sunčanije prostore Bliskog Istoka. Naime, talkSPORT napominje da su dva kluba u naprednim razgovorima za transfer Diabyja, međutim, Al Ittihad će morati prilično platiti ako žele osigurati da transfer bude uspješan. Izvori sugeriraju da će Villa poslovati samo za 60 miliona funti, što je znatno više od 43 miliona funti koliko su platili prije 12 mjeseci. To vjerojatno neće biti problem za Saudijce, i stoga je sigurno samo pitanje vremena prije nego što se svaki dogovor potvrdi. Iako bi prodaja Diabyja neizbježno oslabila Villane, prodajna cijena im daje opciju da izađu i angažiraju igrača jednakog talenta. S obzirom na Monchijev rekord na tržištu transfera, Unai Emery i navijači Ville mogu biti sigurni da će profit od Diabyjevog transfera biti dobro potrošen. S predstojećom kampanjom Lige prvaka kao i teškom domaćom sezonom, što brže bude završen dogovor, to bolje za Villu, jer će im to omogućiti da naprave snažnu ekipu prije prvog meča sezone 2024/25.
