Aston Villa have confirmed Moussa Diaby’s departure from the club after completing his £50m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.
The 25-year-old, who was Villa’s record signing when he moved to the club last year in a £52m transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, has signed a five-year contract at the Saudi Pro League side.
Diaby will now link up with his new teammates in due course after completing a medical in Spain.
He leaves the Clarets after making 54 appearances for Villa across all competitions and scoring 10 goals while providing nine assists.
‘I am thrilled to join Al-Ittihad and be part of a project that aims to build a strong team reflecting the club’s rich history and values.
‘I look forward to collaborating with my new teammates to achieve victories and bring joy to our dedicated fans.’
Al-Ittihad already has star names Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Fabinho in their squad, along with Houssem Aouar, who recently joined from Roma.
