Liverpool could be posed with a huge dilemma for one of their current stars in the coming weeks, according to reports - with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr thought to be plotting a huge bid to sign winger Luis Diaz in the transfer market.
The Reds star has been at the club for almost four years, scoring 41 goals and registering 23 assists in just 148 games on Merseyside to become a regular first-team starter at Anfield under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. However, his future could come under doubt if the Middle Eastern outfit make a move for his services.
Report: Luis Diaz is Al-Nassr's 'Top Target'
Liverpool may have to find a replacement if they sell their starting left-winger
Luis Diaz in action for Liverpool
The report by Ben Jacobs on X (formerly Twitter) states that Diaz remains Al-Nassr's top left-wing target, even with Liverpool telling La Liga champions Barcelona that the Colombian winger is 'not for sale'.

Al-Nassr are prepared to offer in excess of €85million (£71.5million) for the winger, who was open to a move to Barcelona - though it's unclear if he'll consider a move to the Middle East away from Champions League football and another Premier League title push.
If the former Porto winger doesn't move on, Premier League star Kaoru Mitoma hasn't changed his stance of rejection on a move to Saudi Arabia, whilst Gabriel Martinelli, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho have all been the subject of 'multiple approaches'.
It would represent a huge deal for Liverpool to sell Diaz for such a high fee, almost doubling what they paid for him three-and-a-half years ago from the Portuguese league - and that could leave them with enough money to bring in other targets on the left-hand side.
Atalanta hero Ademola Lookman has been touted for a move to Anfield, whilst Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo can play off the left respectively, but Diaz's blistering pace would be missed and an electric winger to strike fear into the heart of defences could be needed for Slot.
Liverpool have already spent close to £200million on Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez in recent weeks and if they receive a sizeable offer for Diaz, as well as the sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, they could raise enough capital to shop for a game-changing winger for their Dutch gaffer.
