Liverpool have had the busiest summer of them all but outgoings might be needed to balance the books.
The Reds have had a phenomenal season and players have had their best campaign to date, with Luis Diaz being one of them.
The Colombian has had his best goalscoring season in a Liverpool shirt, netting 13 goals in the league, and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
Despite wanting to keep him, he has been attracting interest from many different teams, but Al Nassr appeared to be favourites to sign Diaz.
However, Barcelona have been keeping tabs on him for quite some time and it looks like he might be favouring a move to the Spanish giants instead.

Luis Diaz ‘agrees’ Barcelona move
With his pace, flair and trickery, Diaz in a Barcelona shirt would certainly not look out of place and at 28, a move to the Saudi League would feel like wasted potential.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, the Colombian has agreed to move to Barcelona and is doing everything he can to secure the deal.
MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
The Spanish newspaper suggests that ‘Lucho’ has told Liverpool that he does not want to sign a new contract, hoping the club will then cash in on him in this window.
They also report that he has a big offer on the table from Al Nassr but he has ignored it thus far to show his willingness to join Barcelona as they look to strengthen in attack, although the Saudi club are still an option.
Al-Nassr set to approach Liverpool over Luis Díaz after receiving central approval to make a bid. Could be as high as €85m.
Unclear if Diaz wants to go to Saudi while Barcelona remains an option, but the Colombian winger is one of Al-Nassr’s top targets.

Around £72m is what Liverpool are expected to command for any club wanting Diaz, a good chunk more than the £37m they paid up front for him in 2022.
Liverpool’s attacking overhaul this summer
Diaz is not the first Liverpool attacker to be heavily tipped to move away this summer, with the club looking like they will have a refreshed attack next season.
Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota are the most likely to depart after poor seasons for them both, while even Cody Gakpo has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich.
Liverpool also want to sign an attacker and, despite Robbie Fowler urging them to sign Ollie Watkins again, Hugo Ekitike is the favourite to join.
Being at the top is one thing but staying there is a whole other kettle of fish, but Reds fans will be hopeful they can achieve that after promising signs early on in the window.
