Al-Hilal Willing to make Shock €50 Million Bid to Sign Liverpool Attacker

According to Portuguese publication Record, Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are interested in signing Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and are willing to offer €50 million to bring the Colombian to Saudi Arabia.

However, the same report claims that Liverpool are unlikely to let go of the winger for the amount quoted. Moreover, the Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp is a fan of the former Porto winger.

Al-Hilal have already completed some notable signings from Europe. Former Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves and former Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly will play in the club’s colors from next season.

Diaz came to Anfield from Porto in January 2022 for a reported fee of €47 million (via transfermarkt). The 26-year-old started off strong in England, scoring six goals and providing five assists across all competitions during the second half of the 2021-22 season.

However, he endured a difficult 2022-23 campaign, missing the majority of the season due to a knee injury. He picked up the problem during Liverpool’s clash against Arsenal at the Emirates in October 2022.

Diaz missed 31 games due to the injury. After his return, he managed only one goal and zero assists in the Premier League from 9 appearances.
