Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr are reportedly plotting a move to sign Liverpool winger Luis Díaz this summer, as the club looks to strengthen its squad and maintain momentum in their domestic title challenge, according to a report by TalkSport.
Díaz, who joined Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022 for a fee of €37.5 million, has been a dynamic presence for the Reds since his arrival. Despite putting in a solid shift last season, where he racked up 17 goals and 5 assists across 50 appearances in all competitions, the Colombian’s influence at Anfield has waned in recent months.
Under newly appointed Liverpool manager Arne Slot, Díaz’s role in the team has become increasingly uncertain, with reduced minutes on the pitch hinting that he may no longer be a first-choice attacker in the new setup. With clubs like Barcelona and Atlético Madrid also expressing interest, the 27-year-old winger could be on the verge of a big summer move.
Al Nassr, meanwhile, are hoping to capitalise on this opportunity. Even though they won’t be taking part in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, the club is keen to reinforce its front line, and Díaz is high on their list. The move is seen as a strategic push to improve team performance and encourage star forward Cristiano Ronaldo to commit to a new contract, amid ongoing rumours about his future.
Liverpool, for their part, are no strangers to selling high-profile players to the Saudi league. In 2023, they offloaded midfielder Fabinho to Al Ittihad for €40 million and Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaq for €12 million. A potential deal for Díaz could bring in another significant financial boost for the Merseyside club, which could help fund further reinforcements ahead of the new season.
Despite still having a contract with Liverpool that runs until June 2027, Díaz’s future seems far from certain. While Al Nassr are yet to make an official bid, the club’s serious interest indicates that talks could soon pick up. Whether the Colombian international is ready to make the switch to the Middle East remains to be seen.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Liverpool and their next move. Should Díaz depart, it would mark another chapter in the Saudi Pro League’s continued effort to attract top European talent and could reshape Liverpool’s plans for the 2025/26 campaign.
