The second attempt by Inter to onboard Moussa Diaby in the span of a few months might be short-lived too, and they inquired about Nicolas Gonzalez, who\u2019s technically at Juventus but in limbo after Atletico Madrid didn\u2019t pick up their option to buy, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman was a complex target to begin with because of his lofty wages. The Nerazzurri<\/em> need help from Al-Ittihad and would prefer to include Kristjan Asllani to limit the disbursement. The deal doesn\u2019t have a lot of momentum. Furthermore, Bayer Leverkusen have joined the race and are pushing.<\/p>\n Inter expressed interest in Diaby but didn\u2019t initiate a real negotiation, while intermediaries suggested tracking Gonzalez. They are mulling over whether to proceed or not. He did okay in Spain, scoring 5 goals in 24 appearances and handling multiple roles amid a few small muscular injuries.<\/p>\n According to Fabrizio Romano (via Goal<\/em>), Juventus will only let him go permanently this time around. Atletico Madrid passed on a \u20ac30M clause, believing they could get better terms afterward. Per La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/em>, he doesn\u2019t want to stay in Turin. A swap deal with Davide Frattesi, who\u2019s also on his way out, could be a tangible possibility. They have comparable wages and valuations.<\/p>\n They have suddenly started focusing on very offensive-minded options, perhaps signaling that they might not stop at one acquisition to balance things out. Their Argentinian connection is well-known. A straight-up trade with Juventus could be beneficial for both and could have legs if the two sides acted reasonably, but Frattesi wouldn\u2019t find himself in a much better situation competition-wise.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Inter, Diaby, and Gonzalez<\/h3>\n
