Al-Ittihad increasingly confident of signing Aston Villa ace Moussa Diaby

The player in question is Moussa Diaby, who is wanted by Saudi Pro League 🍌giants Al-Ittihad.

Romano, taking to X, says Al-Ittihad are “increasingly confident” of reaching an agreement with Villa ove��r the ꧅Frenchman.

The transfer insider also💧 said negotiations have been “progressing well” today, suggesting everything is on the right track for Diaby to make a move soon.

Surely only a matter of time

It looks as though there’s a good chance Villa won’t be starting the season with the “important” winger, who impressed in his maiden season in c❀laret and blue.

It’s a shame as Diaby would surely be a key player in one of the mos🔯t eagerly awai🦋ted seasons that the Villans have had in many years.

Villa have Champions League to look forward to, and t🌃here’s always the potential to kick on and maybe even ruffle some feathers in the Premier League title race.
