From his move to the Middle East, Diaby was a mixed bag. He performed well, but the wing player missed a significant part of the Al-Ittihad season for injury. The French wing player was not available nine times in this term.
However, he was an assistant to the Saudi side. In 17 games At all competitions, the 25-year-old scored once, but he succeeded in 13 assists, including two against al-Hilal.
Despite its impressive performances, the value of the wing fell dramatically. According to TransfermarttuNow it is only worth £ 28.9 million, almost half of the amount they sold for him in the summer – and even less than Bailey.
Although Diaby had a better campaign than Bailey this season, the values suggest that Villa made the right choice to sell with. Getting £ 50m for a Frenchman proved to be a great job with respect to his injury problems. Maybe the Villas called the correct calling to sell.
