Real Madrid to rival Arsenal for Moussa Diaby
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in Bayer Leverkusen forward Moussa Diaby, with Premier League outfit Arsenal also said to be keen on the player.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a productive season in front of net for Leverkusen, providing 17 goal contributions in 30 Bundesliga matches in a side looking to secure a European spot for next term.
Diaby also possesses international pedigree having turned out for France in March’s international break, securing his ninth and 10th caps after making his debut for the national side in August 2021.
According to Marca, Champions League holders Real Madrid are considering Diaby as a replacement for Eden Hazard this summer, with the Belgian international close to a departure from the Bernabeu.
It is believed Los Blancos are tracking the progress of the attacker as the season draws to an end, and the exit of players from the Madrid club would allow such a deal with Leverkusen to be agreed.
Diaby and his teammates travel to face Roma in the last four of the Europa League on Thursday night – Leverkusen are three games away from their first European trophy since 1988.
