Manchester United Eyeing Moussa Diaby as Potential Jadon Sancho Replacement

In the latest edition of the Mail+ Transfer Confidential newsletter, it has been revealed that Manchester United is showing interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s talented winger, Moussa Diaby, as part of their summer transfer plans.

While left-wing is not currently a priority for the Red Devils, they are considering a move for the Frenchman to potentially replace the outgoing Jadon Sancho.

Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly seeking a fee of around £65 million to complete the sale of Diaby, who has previously been linked with other clubs such as Arsenal and Newcastle United. Manchester United’s transfer activities, however, are currently experiencing a temporary hiatus due to ongoing talks regarding a potential club takeover.

Recent reports have also linked Paris Saint-Germain with a move for their former player, adding another layer of intrigue to Diaby’s potential destination. It is worth noting that Arsenal had previously shown interest in the winger during the winter transfer window, but Leverkusen was reluctant to part ways with him midway through the season.

As Diaby has two years remaining on his contract with Leverkusen, this summer presents a favorable opportunity for the German club to cash in on the talented winger. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s pursuit of a wide forward has seemingly been put on hold after coming close to reaching an agreement on a new contract with Reiss Nelson, according to recent developments.

The 23-year-old Diaby has been a consistent performer for Bayer Leverkusen, registering impressive figures of 14 goals and 11 assists in the most recent season. In total, he has amassed 49 goals and 48 assists in 172 appearances for the German club. Moreover, Diaby’s versatility is an asset, as he is capable of playing on either wing, providing teams with tactical flexibility.

While Manchester United’s pursuit of Diaby is still in its early stages, the club sees him as a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho, who is expected to depart this summer.

The Red Devils’ interest in the young Frenchman showcases their ambition to strengthen their attacking options and maintain a competitive edge in the upcoming season. As the transfer window progresses, it will be intriguing to see how the situation unfolds and which club will ultimately secure Diaby’s services.
