Leverkusen director gives firm indication on Moussa Diaby's future amid ongoing Newcastle links

Newcastle United have been given the clearest indication yet regarding the future of current transfer target Moussa Diaby. The 22-year-old is known to be someone the Magpies are keen on recruiting, with his current price tag set at around £50m.

The French international enjoyed another strong season with Bayer Leverkusen last season, netting 17 goals as well as laying on a further 14 assists, as Gerardo Seoane's side ensured qualification for the UEFA Champions League group stages. Departing Ligue 1 giants PSG back in 2019 for £13m, the forward has certainly found a home in Germany, beginning to flourish at the BayArena.

Now, with the player said to be keen on a salary increase heading into the 22/23 campaign, Leverkusen director of sport Simon Rolfes has confirmed there is no plans for the player to depart this summer.
