Al Nassr Go After Luis Diaz in Summer Transfer Plan

Saudi Pro League team Al Nassr want to sign Liverpool’s Luis Diaz. The Colombian winger is a top target for their summer transfers.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Al Nassr have wanted Luis Diaz for a while. They started trying to sign him back in April. They finished third this season and need to get better to win the title. So they want Diaz to join. His Liverpool deal ends in two years, but he still has no new contract. Diaz scored 17 goals and gave 8 assists in 50 Liverpool matches. Barcelona also want him. But Al Nassr lead the chase. They’ll meet Liverpool’s €70 million valuation.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Al Nassr want Diaz because they do not know if Cristiano Ronaldo stays. He might leave this summer. The club is building a strong team with or without Ronaldo. As for Liverpool, selling Diaz could help them buy Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz. Arne Slot is the new manager and he needs to work on the team. Up front, the attack has a lot of players fighting for spots. Diaz started 28 out of 38 league matches. He helped Liverpool win the Premier League title.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Al Nassr must talk to Liverpool more in the coming weeks. They want Diaz before the new SPL season begins. Diaz is 28 now. He must decide if Saudi Arabia is better than Europe. Barcelona still want him but need money. Liverpool start pre-season with Slot as manager. They are busy in the transfer market. Al Nassr start the new SPL campaign after finishing third this season. They were one point behind Al Ittihad and two behind champions Al Hilal. Meanwhile, Liverpool face a title defence when the new league season starts in August. Whether they keep Diaz or not decides their activity in the market.
