The transfer team at La Liga champions Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the situation of Inter Milan star Andy Diouf. This comes with a view to a potential future move for his signature.
Diouf has for his part spent the early weeks of the new season establishing himself as a key figure in Milan.
Following the summer departure of Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid, the 23-year-old has stepped in to fill the sizable hole left at right wing-back.
Diouf is capable of slotting into a whole host of roles across the pitch, but has found a new lease of life on Inter’s right, notching three assists in five Serie A starts this term.
Such excellence recently gave rise to a first-ever call-up to the French senior national team, with the former Lens talent having since been afforded two appearances by Les Bleus.
And this growing prominence on Diouf’s part, as alluded to above, does not appear to have gone unnoticed in La Liga… As per a report from Fichajes, citing Italian outlet the Corriere dello Sport:
‘Barcelona are closely monitoring Andy Diouf.’
The competition for the Frenchman is stiff, though, with both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea also understood to be in the running for Diouf’s services.
