Liverpool title hero set to join Saudi club in stunning twist

Liverpool will soon focus on player sales as sporting director Richard Hughes works towards finalising a few incoming transfers. The Reds will need to bring in good fees to balance their books, and one of their stars could be on his way to Saudi Arabia this summer.

The Merseyside giants have grabbed headlines with their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, who is set to join the club for a record-breaking £113m in the coming days.

Liverpool also have a deal in place to sign Jeremie Frimpong, and have progressed in talks with Bournemouth for the signature of left-back Milos Kerkez this summer.

The heavy spending will lead to Liverpool considering offers for a couple of established players, and one of those stars has emerged as the top target for a Saudi club ahead of the transfer window.

A Reds star is a top target for Al Nassr

Luis Diaz has been heavily linked with a move away from Liverpool, with Barcelona interested in taking him to the Nou Camp in the upcoming transfer window.

However, Barcelona’s interest has cooled as they are wary of disrupting the dressing room harmony by signing the winger, and are now considering different options.

According to talkSPORT, Diaz has emerged as the priority target for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr for the summer window.

Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Al Nassr this summer, and the club are considering signing the Liverpool winger as his potential replacement.

The Colombian has been a big player for the Reds this season and has scored 13 times in the Premier League.

However, Liverpool could accept big offers for a forward who has two years left on his contract and wants a major hike if he has to sign a new deal.
