Liverpool are set to block any approach from Al Hilal for 26-year-old attacker Luis Diaz and intends to reject their €50 million verbal offer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have no intention to entertain any bids from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal for Luis Diaz. Jurgen Klopp views the 26-year-old Colombian as a key member of his attacking setup as the Red intend to reject Al Hilal’s €50 million verbal offer.
The Saudi exodus of Premier League stars has increased in the last few weeks. While Chelsea were the early sellers to the Middle East, Liverpool are now on the verge of selling two of their stars. The Reds intend to put a stop to any more players leaving the club for Saudi Arabia, with Luis Diaz in the news.
Fabinho remains in conversation about a move to Saudi Arabia, with Liverpool already discussing terms with Al Ittihad. At the time of writing, they have already agreed to move to Al Ettifaq, where the England international will sign a three-year deal.
Recent reports suggested Al Hilal were interested in signing Diaz and may have offered €50 million for the Colombian international. The 26-year-old attacker has been a key member of Jurgen Klopp since his arrival 18 months ago, as Liverpool missed him big time last season due to a knee injury.

Either way, Al Hilal’s €50 million offer may not hold much ground for Liverpool to accept the proposal. The amount is close to the €47 million they paid FC Porto in January 2022. Secondly, why would the club sell him for that price, considering the 26-year-old attacker has four years left on his contract?
Klopp does not want to lose more players and bring about more problems in the transfer window. They must find and replace Diaz’s quality, and the costs could grow as the market progresses. Hence, it makes no sense for them to sell at this stage.
They are already struggling to find suitable replacements for Fabinho and Henderson, while there’s the chance of losing more experience if Thiago Alcantara also leaves. Hence, Liverpool are all set to reject Al Hilal’s verbal offer and ensure Diaz remains at the club.
Beyond the potential €50 million fee, Al Hilal may offer a stupendous contract to Diaz and turn his head. In any case, Liverpool have the ultimate power in determining this transfer saga, as they will likely block any approach from the Saudis for the Colombian attacker.
