Al-Nassr remains determined to continue Luis Diaz this summer, identifying the Colombian winger as his best target for the left position despite Liverpool’s firm position that the player is not for sale, according to Ben Jacobs.
Diaz, who was the subject of interest of Barcelona, would have been opened to a move to Camp Nou, but it is not clear if he would consider a passage to the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Nassr is ready to test Liverpool’s determination with an offer over 85 million euros while they seek to continue to strengthen their team in order to challenge domestic domination and the success of the AFC Champions League.
Liverpool does not intend to sell Luis Diaz
However, Liverpool, having already informed Barcelona that Diaz is a key element of Arne Slot’s plans in the future, should not entertain discussions unless an extraordinary offer forces their hand.
Al-Nassr believes that his profile is perfectly suited to their vision of bringing stars names to the Saudi Pro League. However, with Diaz focused on Liverpool and high-level European football, convincing him to move could prove to be the biggest challenge in Al-Nassr.
The Colombian winger was described as a “really special” player by Jurgen Klopp in the past.
Meanwhile, the Saudi club is preparing emergency plans and will discuss several left-wing alternative options with the head coach Jorge Jesus.
Kaoru Mitoma de Brighton, who was approached by Saudi clubs in January, remains on the list despite maintaining his position he wishes to stay in Europe for the moment.
Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal was also discussed as a potential target, Al-Nassr admiring Brazilian talent.

In addition, other Saudi clubs from Saudi Pro League are also going to reinforcements on the left this summer, the Manchester United duo Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho having been subjected to several approaches.
While the Saudi Pro League continues its aggressive efforts to attract the best European talents, the pursuit by Al-Nassr de Diaz, alongside Mitoma, Martinelli, Sancho and Garnacho surveillance, reflects their ambition to bring in high caliber players capable of breeding the league profile.
However, with European clubs reluctant to lose key assets and players favoring high -level football, it remains to be seen whether these activities will lead to successful agreements in the coming weeks.
