The newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Inter Milan is working on securing a surprise deal during the transfer window, after facing difficulties in signing N'Doye and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of Croatian player Ivan Perisic.

According to the same source, the management duo Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio have decisively shifted their focus towards the French star Moussa Diaby, making him the top choice to strengthen the team's offensive line.

The newspaper confirmed that the Nerazzurri management has successfully obtained the preliminary approval of the Saudi Al-Ittihad player, in an important step that brings Inter closer to completing the deal.

Currently, negotiations are still ongoing between the two clubs to reach a final agreement, with optimism within Inter's corridors about the possibility of completing the deal in the coming days.
