- Diaz touted for move to Saudi league
- Latest in string of high-profile links
- Liverpool may be reluctant to sell
WHAT HAPPENED? The Colombian winger is on the radar of Saudi club Al-Hilal, according to reports in Portuguese media outlet Record. It's claimed they are readying a £50 million ($65m) offer for Diaz, although it's expected that Liverpool will be reluctant to cave in for such bids for the 26-year-old.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Diaz has only been at Anfield for 18 months, having been signed in the January 2022 transfer window from Porto, and is expected to be a key figure for Liverpool in the upcoming 2023-24 campaign.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Yet the news that both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are considering swapping Merseyside for lucrative offers in the Saudi Pro League has prompted speculation that other Premier League players – and in particular those currently at Liverpool – may join them. Wealthy Saudi clubs have already sealed high-profile moves for Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Neves, as well as former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino this summer.
