Two Liverpool players are attacking interest from the Saudi Pro League.
Luis Diaz has been targeted by Al-Nassr, who are considering a move for the forward in a bid to bolster their ranks before this summer’s Club World Cup.
The Colombia international emerged as a potential target for Stefano Pioli’s side as they face the possibility of talisman Cristiano Ronaldo departing.
Anfield chiefs are reluctant to sanction Diaz’s sale with two years remaining on his current deal despite Al-Nassr’s interest in him being well established.
However the Reds could allow Darwin Nunez to leave as he being explored as a potential signing by Al-Hilal, who finished runners up in the Pro League.
Nunez has been used sporadically by Arne Slot with only 17 starts this term in contrast to Diaz’s 38 in all competitions for the Premier League champions.
His possible sale would free up additional funds in what is set to be a busy summer transfer window for Slot’s side with several targets already lined up.
A deal for Jeremie Frimpong is nearing completion as the Bayer Leverkusen right-back will step into the void left by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure.
Talks are also progressing on a deal to bring Frimpong’s club teammate Florian Wirtz to Merseyside with Liverpool in the box seat for his signature.
Slot is also expected to make further additions at left-back, where Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is the prime target, and in attack.
Real Madrid have reopened talks over securing Alexander-Arnold’s release before his contract expires to feature in their Club World Cup campaign.
The homegrown defender will become a free agent at the end of June but the Spanish giants are keen to enlist him before tournament in the United States.
Los Blancos recently appointed former Liverpool favourite Xabi Alonso as their new head coach ahead of the Club World Cup’s start on June 14.
