Overview

• Inter will pay €20 million plus €5 million in bonuses and Diouf is set to sign a five‑year contract worth about €2 million per season, with medicals scheduled in Milan today.
• There is a chance he could be available for Monday’s league opener at Torino if paperwork is finalized in time.
• Diouf, 22, profiles as a powerful and versatile box‑to‑box midfielder and was a France U21 standout who also earned Olympic silver in 2024.
• The deal comes after Roma halted negotiations for Koné and Rennes held firm on Djaoui Cissé, prompting Inter to move quickly past Napoli’s interest; Kristjan Asllani is set to join Torino on loan for €1.5 million with a €12 million option.
• Inter now turns to adding a young defender and reportedly retains significant spending capacity, with Benjamin Pavard seen as likely to remain after switching to shirt number 5.
