Mohamed Salah's departure from Liverpool, with Saudi Arabia as a possible destination, could cause a real earthquake in the transfer market, with repercussions felt from the Middle East to Italy.
At the center of this transfer saga is Inter, who are watching the situation closely and hope that the Egyptian's arrival in Saudi Arabia could open the door to their desired acquisition.
Inter could activate the Moussa Diaby track if Salah goes to Al Ittihad
If Salah joins Al Ittihad, the Saudi club will have to free up a place in the squad due to restrictions on the number of foreign players.
One of the footballers who could become the “victim” of this luxury transfer is the French striker Moussa Diaby.

The former Leverkusen and Aston Villa player is thus in an uncertain position, and the Milanese club see their chance here.
Inter tried to transfer Diaby since the winter, but then no agreement was reached. Now, circumstances have changed, and the Nerazzurri believe the Frenchman would be the ideal solution for their attack, according to sportal.rs, citing Corriere dello Sport.
The final decision, however, rests with Al Ittihad. Salah's arrival in Jeddah would almost certainly force the club to let go of one of the foreigners, but Diaby's fate is yet to be officially decided. The Frenchman has 4 goals and 13 assists in 35 games this season.
Inter have 4 strikers in the squad, Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram, Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
