Luis Díaz Transfer Battle: Barcelona, Bayern and Al-Nassr Circle Amid Liverpool’s Firm Stance

Heavy Interest in Díaz as Liverpool Stay Firm

Luis Díaz’s future at Liverpool has sparked yet another summer saga, with top European clubs and a big-money Saudi bid circling the Colombian winger. Despite persistent efforts from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now Al-Nassr, the Reds remain adamant that Díaz is not for sale.

According to SPORT, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr are ready to table a staggering €100 million (£86 million) offer for the 28-year-old. While Bayern and Barcelona continue dialogue with the player’s agents, Al-Nassr have gone one step further by signalling their willingness to meet Liverpool’s full asking price.

“In fact, there is only one club that has made it known it is willing to pay the 100 million euros that Liverpool is asking for: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr,” SPORT revealed.

Talks Underway with Liverpool

The club’s stance has been consistent throughout the window. “The Reds maintain that Diaz is part of their plans for next season and are not looking to sell,” SPORT reported.

However, neither Bayern Munich nor Barcelona have been discouraged by Liverpool’s position. Fabrizio Romano disclosed this week:“Bayern are speaking to the agents of Luis Diaz. Barcelona has also been speaking to the player’s agents in recent weeks, and they will speak again in the next days.”

“Barcelona remain in conversation with Luis Diaz because he is a player the club loves. But of course, they need to understand financially what happens because Liverpool keeps closing doors.”

Al-Nassr’s Ronaldo-Led Recruitment Drive

The Saudi Pro League continues its aggressive recruitment of European talent, and Díaz has emerged as a high-profile target for Al-Nassr. Backed by Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence, Sporting Director Fernando Hierro is said to be prioritising the capture of a marquee left-winger.

“From Saudi Arabia, they have been working for some time on convincing the Colombian international’s camp, trying to seduce him and invite him to leave Europe and join the long list of stars who have moved to the Saudi league,” SPORT wrote.

Yet, Díaz has so far resisted such overtures. “The problem is that Al-Nassr has already tried unsuccessfully on several occasions,” SPORT added, suggesting that the player prefers to stay in Europe—though “another unexpected twist could change the current storyline.”

No Sign of Movement – But Situation Worth Watching

At this stage, Liverpool are holding firm. No formal offers have come close to turning heads at Anfield, and Díaz’s importance to the club remains intact. However, with elite suitors circling and Saudi money now firmly on the table, this is one to monitor closely as the transfer window progresses.

Our View – Anfield Index Analysis

From a Liverpool supporter’s point of view, this story is both flattering and frustrating. On one hand, it’s a testament to Díaz’s quality that three major clubs—Bayern, Barça, and Al-Nassr—are all after him. On the other, there’s a sense of déjà vu; another summer, another key player at the centre of transfer noise.

Díaz hasn’t been flawless in a red shirt, but he brings energy, pressing and flair—attributes that align perfectly with what the club and its fans want in a wide forward. While his numbers haven’t always matched those of Sadio Mané, he remains one of the few in the squad capable of creating something out of nothing.

From an emotional standpoint, seeing Díaz lured to Saudi Arabia would be a gut punch. He’s in his peak, and fans would much prefer to see him shine at Anfield than fade out of Europe’s spotlight. Although €100 million is tempting, if that sort of fee is secured for a player who is great but replaceable not many fans would be angered at the move.
