Top European Clubs Target Inter's Andy Diouf

A switch to wing‑back combined with recent France appearances has pushed his market value up and left Inter unlikely to accept a mid‑season sale.

Overview

  • Inter coach Cristian Chivu moved Diouf from central midfield to the right wing‑back role, and the player has provided three assists in five Serie A starts since the change.
  • Diouf made his first France appearances under Zinedine Zidane, featuring against Belgium on 28 September and again on 5 October, which intensified scouting interest.
  • Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona and Paris Saint‑Germain are all reported to be tracking Diouf as a versatile, athletic option for wide or midfield roles.
  • Inter signed Diouf from Lens in summer 2025 for about €20m and have him under contract until June 2030, with reported valuations now around €50m–€60m.
  • Given his long contract and Inter’s reluctance to sell during the season, a transfer looks more likely next summer and could force suitors to pay well above his 2025 fee.
