The transfer window is heating up — and Liverpool forward Luis Diaz is at the center of it. Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr have made the Colombian winger their No.1 target this summer as they prepare for life beyond Cristiano Ronaldo, as per reports via talkSPORT.
Diaz, 28, just wrapped up a strong season for the Reds, scoring 13 goals and helping Liverpool reclaim the Premier League crown.
But his future at Anfield is now a hot topic. With two years left on his deal and talks of a new contract stalling, the door for a possible exit has creaked open.
The Colombian’s flair and work rate have caught the eye of clubs across Europe, especially in Spain. His father has even spoken publicly about hopes of a move to La Liga.
But now, interest from the Middle East is taking center stage.

Ronaldo’s cryptic message sparks Liverpool star Luis Diaz transfer rumour
Al Nassr are gearing up for a major transition. Cristiano Ronaldo may be headed for the exit after another trophyless campaign. The 40-year-old posted, “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all,” on social media (X) — sending fans and scouts into a frenzy.
With Ronaldo’s boots potentially up for grabs, Al Nassr want a big name to fill them. And Diaz fits the bill. The winger has not only produced goals but shown he can adapt, even playing centrally under new boss Arne Slot.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are spending big — reportedly bringing in Bayer Leverkusen duo Jeremie Frimpong and possibly Florian Wirtz. That spending spree might force them to sell, and Diaz’s rising value makes him a likely candidate.
It’s unclear if Diaz will trade Anfield for Riyadh. But with money flowing in Saudi football and Ronaldo’s chapter possibly closed, Diaz might just be the next big name in the desert.
