Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr eyeing up Aston Villa target Moussa Diaby
Villa face competition from Saudi Arabia in their bid to sign Bayer Leverkusen forward Moussa Diaby.
The 24-year-old is a prime target with reports in Germany last night claiming Villa had returned with a club-record bid of £43million, after seeing an initial £30m offer rejected last week.
But Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League are also keen on the Frenchman and can offer a lucrative salary package.
Leverkusen value Diaby at more than £50m but the next few days are likely to be pivotal, with the German club poised to depart for a pre-season training camp in Austria this weekend and all parties keen for the situation to be resolved either way.
Villa travel to the USA tomorrow for a pre-season camp which includes three matches against Premier League rivals.
