Al-Ittihad confirms Moussa Diaby will stay

Al-Ittihad have definitively settled the future of Moussa Diaby, putting an end to speculation regarding a possible exit during the summer transfer window. The club has confirmed that the French star is not for sale and remains a central part of their project for the upcoming season.

The decision comes as the team continues their preparation at a training camp in Spain. Diaby has been among the most committed players in the squad, arriving in peak physical condition that has impressed the technical staff led by new coach Jens Wissing. The winger has also shown signs of regaining his best form, netting two goals in two friendly matches.

Under Wissing, Al-Ittihad is shifting its tactical identity, with a clear emphasis on intense counter-pressing, a strategy that has already resulted in successful goal-scoring opportunities during their recent warm-up matches. The club is currently working on further strengthening the midfield while assessing their options for the left-back position, where the focus is shifting toward homegrown talent.
