Bayer Leverkusen Close to Securing Moussa Diaby Deal with One Hurdle

German media reports have revealed that Bayer Leverkusen is close to re-signing French winger Moussa Diaby, as negotiations with Al-Ittihad have reached advanced stages during the current summer transfer window.

German outlet "Bild" has reported that both parties are close to reaching a final agreement, following positive developments in negotiations over the past few days to secure the player's return to the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen's management and the federation are currently working to finalize the last details of the agreement, with expectations to close the deal and announce it officially in the coming period.

The newspaper reported that the financial value of the anticipated transfer will be less than €30 million, following significant progress in discussions between the two clubs regarding the terms of the deal.

There is still one obstacle delaying Moussa Diaby's transfer, which is reaching an agreement between the player and Al-Ittihad regarding his financial entitlements and the waiver of part of them.

Bayer Leverkusen's move to re-sign Diaby comes after his previous stint with the German club, while the federation aims to finalize the matter in a way that maximizes the club's benefits during the summer transfer window.
