Luis Diaz has been a revelation since his move to Liverpool from Porto 18 months ago, despite suffering a few injury setbacks during his second season. Now, Liverpool are braced to receive an approach from Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad for the 26-year-old winger.
According to Duncan Castles, Al Ittihad are ready to table a formal bid for Diaz. The Reds have already sanctioned the sale of Fabinho to Al Ittihad and their manager, Jorge Jesus, views Diaz as another key target.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also trying to figure out the future of their skipper Jordan Henderson. He is understood to have given the green light to a move to Al-Ettifaq, managed by his former teammate and club legend Steven Gerrard.
Henderson has been included in Liverpool's squad for their pre-season tour which begins with a game against Karlsruher tomorrow. Long-serving defender Andy Robertson described Jurgen Klopp's training regimen as ‘incredibly tough’.
‘It's early-morning rises, tough sessions during the day and then obviously when the sun comes out and we train a lot harder with that heat – everything makes it a lot harder,’ Robertson said. ‘The three days have been incredibly tough. There's been no kind of easing our way into it. It's been pretty full on but the lads have reacted to it and it's important that in these moments we all stick together and we try to enjoy the hard work and push each other through it.’
