The attacker is a huge target for the Saudi Pro League club, but will not come cheap.
Per Fabrizio Romano, a deal can be done, but only for a much higher transfer fee.
Villa see Diaby as a key player under manager Unai Emery and will have to sign a replacement if he goes.
Only when the finances make sense do they envision accepting any bid for his services.
