Overview
- Weekend reports by transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri say Al Hilal have offered Luis Díaz a net annual salary of €25 million and plan a transfer fee package in the roughly €120–€150 million range.
- Tavolieri and other outlets report that Richard Hughes is leading the approach and is reportedly close to joining Al Hilal to help manage the club’s recruitment.
- Those reports say Al Hilal have not opened formal talks with Bayern Munich and intend to secure Díaz’s agreement before approaching Bayern officials.
- Bayern paid about €70 million for Díaz in 2025 and he is contracted through 2029, facts that analysts cite along with his strong 2025–26 season as reasons a sale is unlikely despite the size of the offer.
- The bid fits a broader Saudi Pro League spending wave and Al Hilal’s reported $350 million summer budget and recent signing of Crysencio Summerville, which signal continued high‑cost recruitment if deals progress.
