Saudi Pro League seeks Liverpool, Arsenal player signings
The Saudi Pro League is expected to make a big impact during the upcoming summer transfer window. Several Liverpool players may be targeted, as interest continues from Saudi clubs. Gabriel Magalhaes, a defender for Arsenal, could be a key target for Al-Nassr. The club is willing to offer him a significant salary, roughly three times his current pay, which may catch his interest. However, Arsenal is unlikely to let him go for less than £84 million and may try to negotiate a contract extension instead. Liverpool's Darwin Nunez has previously been sought after by Saudi clubs, with Al-Nassr making two bids in January. Despite some recent good performances, the forward has struggled to find consistency. He might face stiff competition for his place in the team if Liverpool decides to restructure its attack. Luis Diaz, another Liverpool player, also has uncertain prospects. With only one goal in 2025 so far, he may find the Saudi League appealing as Liverpool looks to generate funds. Mohamed Salah's future remains in the spotlight as Al-Ittihad has made offers rumored to be around £150 million for him. However, both Salah and Liverpool have not shown any rush to change their successful partnership since his last contract extension. Defender Virgil van Dijk is reportedly attracting interest from Al-Hilal, which has made an initial offer that would tempt many players. Kevin De Bruyne, nearing the end of his career, has hinted at being open to offers, particularly from Saudi clubs eager to recruit big names. Goalkeeper Ederson may also receive offers from the Saudi Pro League as he considers what could be his last big contract. Heung-min Son, the Tottenham captain, is being watched by both Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, with Spurs potentially interested in a considerable offer. Kingsley Coman is seeking an exit from Bayern Munich, eyeing a move to the Saudi League, particularly as Bayern looks to make room for new recruits. Lastly, Vinicius Junior's situation seems complicated, though Al-Ahli is reportedly willing to make a record-setting offer for the forward. Additionally, there’s ongoing interest in Frenkie De Jong, who could depart from Barcelona if they need to adjust their financial plans again.
