Cristiano Ronaldo has personally urged Al-Nassr management to go all out in securing the signature of Liverpool winger Luis Díaz this summer, aiming to form a deadly attacking link-up that could redefine the Saudi Pro League’s frontlines.
Sources close to the club revealed that the Portuguese legend is pushing for the Colombian speedster as his top transfer priority, believing Díaz’s flair, pace, and delivery would be the perfect weapon to reignite his goal-scoring form at Al-Nassr under new head coach Jorge Jesus.
Luis Díaz, 28, has seen interest from European powerhouses such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich in recent windows. While still under contract with Premier League champions Liverpool, the player is reportedly open to a move if the right offer emerges—especially with uncertainties surrounding his starting role under Jurgen Klopp’s successor.
Al-Nassr, currently undergoing a major reshuffle following the appointment of former Flamengo and Benfica boss Jorge Jesus, is ready to make a statement signing to boost the squad’s attacking threat. The club views Díaz not just as a marquee addition but also as a strategic asset to compete for domestic and continental titles.
Jorge Jesus, who replaced Stefano Pioli earlier this month, has stated publicly that helping Ronaldo lift silverware remains one of his immediate goals. A signing like Díaz, who boasts Champions League experience and Copa América pedigree, would add depth and dynamism to the Riyadh-based squad.
Reports from Sport indicate that Ronaldo sees Díaz as a game-changer who could provide the consistent wing play and creativity he currently lacks at Al-Nassr. The club’s hierarchy is now weighing a formal bid, aware that a successful move could spark global headlines.
Should the deal materialize, it would mark another seismic shift in football’s balance of power, as the Saudi Pro League continues to lure world-class talent away from Europe’s top five leagues.
