Moussa Diaby told he is free to leave Al-Ittihad According to a report from teamTALK, Diaby is one of the wingers that Liverpool are seriously considering making a move for when the summer transfer window opens.

The report states: “Diaby’s future is undecided as the summer transfer window approaches. We can confirm Liverpool are in close contact with Diaby’s representatives, viewing him as a potential long-term successor to Mohamed Salah amid ongoing uncertainty over the Egyptian’s future.” With three goals and 13 assists in 33 games, Diaby is an interesting target, although the standard of the Saudi Pro League makes these numbers difficult to compare to the Premier League.
