Villa, who only signed him a year ago, are set to make a significant profit on his sale.
The £60 million move is around £17 million more than Villa paid Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
Diaby did have a good first season in the Premier League, but the form of Leon Bailey means that he has been deemed as expendable.
