Diaby's departure would unlock Aston Villa's bid for Raphinha

The summer is progressing and Barcelona could still see some departures. Raphinha is one of the ‘Cules’ most likely to pack his bags before the end of the summer.
'Sport' claims that Aston Villa are interested in acquiring the Brazilian's services. However, the English club are aware that to sign him they need a large amount of money. Between 65 and 70 million euros will be asked by the Catalan giants to whoever wants to take the player.
And Moussa Diaby could hold the key to Raphinha's return to the Premier League. The British press claims that the player is about to sign for Al Ittihad Saudi Arabia and, with that money, Aston Villa would be in a position to fight for the Barcelona winger.
Raphinha will have the last word in any case, and it seems that his priority is to stay at Camp Nou. We will see if a big offer from the Villains could make him change his mind.
