Liverpool's response to Barcelona's bid was firm, indicating that they are not willing to part with Diaz. This decision may be influenced by the interest from Al-Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club that is reportedly eyeing the winger. Liverpool may be hesitant to sell Diaz, considering his contributions to the team's success, including helping them win their 20th title.

Al-Hilal's interest in Diaz is not the only factor at play. Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes recently rejected a massive bid from the Saudi club, which may indicate that Al-Hilal is willing to make significant offers for top talent. Diaz's wages may increase if he joins Al-Hilal, as the club may look to make a marquee signing this summer.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported on the situation, stating that there is concrete interest from Saudi Arabia. However, it is unclear whether Al-Hilal's bid will be enough to persuade Liverpool to sell Diaz.
