According to Bild, Bayer Leverkusen is still working on the transfer of Diaby. Previously, Saudi media reported that Al-Ittihad was already looking for a replacement for the right winger, as Diaby was highly likely to leave the club. This is positive news for Bayer Leverkusen.

The report indicates that Bayer Leverkusen had already agreed on a contract with Diaby until 2031, and the transfer fee has been set at 30 million euros. What remains to be resolved is the compensation for the termination of the contract between Diaby and Al-Ittihad, as his contract with the club runs until 2029. In the 3-0 away win against Najma in the Saudi Cup, Diaby was not in the squad. The official explanation was that he was rested for the away match against Al-Qadisiyah on Friday to prepare for the next league match.

Currently, it is unlikely that Bayer Leverkusen will announce the completion of the transfer before the cup weekend. However, Bayer Leverkusen cannot wait indefinitely for Diaby, otherwise, they will not be able to continue strengthening the right wing.
