Saudi club Al-Hilal have earmarked an enormous sum to sign Colombian Luis Diaz, the Bayern Munich winger, during the current summer transfer window.
Despite their busy transfers activity this far, Al Hilal is reportedly dreaming of signing the Colombian international. Reliable journalist Sacha Tavolieri says Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s current sporting director, who will take charge at Al-Hilal once the window closes, is leading the negotiations with Diaz.
The Saudi Cup winners just signed Crysencio Summerville for €76 million on Friday, but are looking to bring in yet another attacking star.
However, Díaz is contractually bound to the Bavarian club until 2029, and the club will likely be reluctant to let him go.
Still, everything has its price and the question remains whether the Munich bosses would change tack should a “mega-offer” arrive.
As is well known, money is not the primary concern for the vast majority of clubs in Saudi Arabia, as Al Hilal have previously shown.
Meanwhile, Pedro Neto of Chelsea FC was also offered to Al Hilal by his agent Jorge Mendes, and PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé is also in talks.
