3 Liverpool players subject of Saudi Pro League transfer interest | OneFootball

Liverpool's attacking trio of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have all reportedly inspired transfer interest from the wealthy and ambitious Saudi Pro League.

Arne Slot inherited a squad from Jurgen Klopp which required minimal changes - be that incoming or outgoing - to win this season's Premier League title. However, this summer may not be so straightforward.

Virgil van Dijk may be staying put - along with Mohamed Salah - but the towering defender freely admitted that it would be an off-season of upheaval. "Whatever happens in terms of players going out, players coming in, I think it should be a big summer," the club captain recently predicted.

Three figures who could be part of that personnel churn reside in Liverpool's frontline. Diaz, Jota and Nunez could feasibly attract bids from Saudi Arabia this summer, according to The Telegraph.

Nunez's unsettled future on Merseyside is an open secret. The Uruguayan forward reportedly came "very close" to joining Al Nassr during the January window only for Liverpool to rebuff two bids, the second of which was thought to be worth more than £62m. The Reds are now expected to be willing to accept any offer in the region of £38m. La Liga's Atletico Madrid are billed as the "favourites" to snap up Nunez, although there is still the chance of a Saudi club wading into the mix.

The Telegraph claim that sides from the Kingdom have also shown an interest in Diaz and are reportedly considering a move for Jota.

Diaz's future has been mired in uncertainty throughout the best campaign of his senior career to date. Spanish outlets repeatedly stress the Colombian's supposed desire to one day play for Barcelona yet Diaz has done little to hide his clear affection for Liverpool.

Only Salah has scored more league goals for Liverpool this season than Diaz. Jota's output, however, has noticeably dipped during the second half of the campaign. After coming back from a muscular injury in January, the 28-year-old has scored just once in 15 appearances across all competitions.

Liverpool are said to be in the market for a new central striker, even if a move for Newcastle United's expensive striker Alexander Isak is no longer considered financially viable, and at least one of Jota and Nunez is expected to make way for a fresh recruit this summer.
