Inter Milan are actively pursuing a summer move for winger Moussa Diaby from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, according to reports from Italy. The Serie A champions are also monitoring several midfield options, including Liverpool's Curtis Jones and Roma's Manu Koné, as they plan a potential refresh of their squad ahead of next season. The interest in Diaby represents a continued effort to add a different profile of attacking player to Simone Inzaghi's options.
Diaby, who joined Al-Ittihad from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, was previously courted by Inter during the January transfer window. The club's sporting director, Piero Ausilio, remains keen on the French international, viewing him as a player capable of beating his marker one-on-one and creating numerical superiority in the final third. This pursuit aligns with Inter's desire to provide Inzaghi with a type of dynamic wide attacker not currently present in the squad.
The potential overhaul extends to midfield, where Manu Koné of Roma is described as Inter's primary target. Financial pressures related to Financial Fair Play may force Roma to sell a prized asset, and a change in management, with Claudio Ranieri's departure, could make a deal more feasible than it was nine months ago. Inter believe a strong offer could this time prove successful for the French midfielder.
Liverpool's Curtis Jones is another player of significant interest to the Nerazzurri. The English midfielder, while receiving increased minutes recently, is not a guaranteed starter at Anfield, and speculation about a move away is considered credible. Aston Villa are also reported to hold strong interest, but Inter could present an appealing project for Jones to become a protagonist away from his comfort zone. His potential arrival would be part of a midfield evolution, with the returns of Lazar Samardzic and the likely departures of players like Kristjan Asllani and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
On the right flank, Inter maintain an interest in Genoa's Brooke Norton-Cuffy. The 2004-born wing-back was close to a move in January, with a broad agreement in place, should Denzel Dumfries have departed for Liverpool. Norton-Cuffy is seen as a potential stylistic replacement for the Dutch international, whose future remains uncertain. The article notes that a move for Atalanta's Raoul Bellanova is considered almost impossible due to the Bergamo club's high valuation.
The collective activity points to a busy summer for Inter as they look to build on their Scudetto success. The focus appears to be on adding specific profiles—a creative winger in Diaby, midfield dynamism, and potential cover at wing-back—to ensure the squad remains competitive on multiple fronts in the coming campaign.
