A last beautiful sale for the RC Lens before the transfer market is closed. After Neil El Aynaoui transferred to Roma for 23 M € and Kevin Danso whose purchase option was lifted by Tottenham for 25 M €, the Sang et Or again make a nice silver entry with the departure of Andy Diouf to Inter Milan. We reported it to you in recent hours, an agreement has been reached between the two clubs. It was only missing the signatures to formalize the news, it is done.
“”Andy Diouf is an Inter Milan player. The French midfielder born in 2003 arrives on a permanent contract from the Racing Club of Lens. Twenty-seventh French in the history of Inter, Andy played in all the youth teams in France, winning the silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, where he played two games against New Zealand and Egypt. Now aged 22, Andy Diouf's dream is enriched by a fascinating new chapter: a chapter in black and blue“, Said the press release from the Nerazzurri. The finalist of the last Champions League pays € 25 million to attach the services of the midfielder, who therefore signed until 2030 with his new team.
The time of the big jump for Diouf
It is his second experience abroad but it is really the big jump. After Rennes, the Basel FC where he turned out to be in the eyes of the general public, and the RC Lens, here is that Diouf joined a great Europe, with the label of her transfer in the back. He did not choose the ease but that is perhaps that which motivates the 22-year-old, who experienced ups and downs in the north of France, between the Champions League and a more jumped end of the course.
Inter did not know the major changes announced at the start of the summer. Admittedly Simone Inzaghi left for Saudi Arabia, replaced by Cristian Chivu but Hakan çalhanoğlu finally remained, just like Francesco Acerbi. The two men, essential during the course to the C1 final, were announced on the start. Luis Henrique, Ange-Yoan Bonny or Petar Susic still came to garnish the interist ranks. And with the presence of recruits, plus Barella, Frattesi, Zielinski and other Mkhitaryan, Diouf has work to do.
