Liverpool monitor Al-Ittihad winger Moussa Diaby amid uncertainty over his Saudi Pro League future.
The 26-year-old France‑ and Mali‑eligible right winger is being linked with a move from Al‑Ittihad to Liverpool, with Transfermarkt listing his current market value at €28.00m. The rumour, dated 8 March 2026, carries an unspecified probability (“?”), and there is no public information on the length of Diaby’s deal in Saudi Arabia, leaving open the prospect he could eventually become a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Diaby only joined Al‑Ittihad from Aston Villa in July 2024 after a single season in the Premier League, where he was signed from Bayer Leverkusen in 2023. His transfer to Saudi Arabia has coincided with a gradual decrease in his estimated market value, which peaked at €60m during his time at Villa in December 2023 before falling to €35m in late 2024, €30m in May 2025 and €28m in December 2025.
A left‑footed attacker who primarily operates on the right, Diaby has experience across three of Europe’s top leagues. Paris‑born and 1.70m tall, he progressed through Paris Saint‑Germain’s youth ranks, including spells with PSG’s U17, U19 and B teams, and had a loan stint at FC Crotone in Italy before establishing himself at Leverkusen in the Bundesliga from 2019. That period saw his value rise rapidly, climbing from €6m in October 2018 to €60m by June 2022.
Diaby’s most recent campaign in Saudi Arabia has come in a struggling Al‑Ittihad side rather than at the very top end of European competition, and there are no publicly listed official figures yet for his goals or assists this season. His last recorded market-value update in December 2025 came after a run in which Al‑Ittihad faced mixed results domestically, including a narrow league defeat in early December, with Diaby featuring but unable to alter the scoreline decisively.
With Liverpool regularly linked to versatile forwards and potentially attracted by a player whose valuation has dropped from its previous heights, any concrete move would depend on Al‑Ittihad’s stance and whether Diaby’s contractual situation edges towards a free‑agent scenario. Should a transfer materialise, it would offer the winger a route back to the Premier League and a fresh platform to reignite the trajectory that once made him one of Europe’s most highly rated wide players.
