Over the past couple days, we have seen a few articles covering the potential transfer of Moussa Diary to Aston Villa after Unai Emery’s side made a big offer for the Bayer Leverkusen star.
The German side had yet to reply to said bid, knowing that Al-Nassr were also after him, with Wednesday’s L’Equipe believing they are simply waiting for ‘an increase in the bidding’ from the Saudi side.
What is certain, in their eyes, is that the French winger ‘will leave’ Bayer Leverkusen this summer, but his next destination remains a mystery.
At this moment in time, he has to choose between the Premier League, where Aston Villa would welcome him, and Saudi Arabia, which is becoming a more and more attractive destination for players after their recent splurge on the transfer market.
That’s why the forward is ‘hesitating’ between the two destinations, even if Al-Nassr still need to improve on their latest bid to surpass the amount put forward by the Villans.
It’s made clear he won’t leave for Saudi Arabia ‘on a whim’, because he’s always thought long and hard about his next steps, and he has often ‘listened to his family and his entourage’, where some are reticent to see him head to the Middle East just yet.
However, the ‘way of life and sporting development’ on offer there, on top of the big wages, certainly have their appeal.
Therefore, he will have to decide between Aston Villa and Al-Nassr, as long as the Saudi side put more money on the table with their transfer fee.
