Saudi Pro League teams are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool stars Joe Gomez and Luis Diaz.

Last summer, Saudi clubs mainly targeted high-profile stars towards the end of their careers.

However, according to the Daily Mail, they are now determined to attract younger players.

Gomez (27) and Diaz (27) are both in their prime and could perform at the highest level for at least another five seasons

So, while they may not draw the same attention as the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, they would arguably do more to show that the league is growing.

It is surely highly unlikely that the Reds pair would be willing to make the move to the Middle East, however.

Saudi clubs chasing Man City pair

Manchester City stars Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson have also been linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League.

According to The Mirror, De Bruyne's agents have met with 10 Saudi clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

Neymar's Al-Hilal, Ronaldo's Al-Nassr and Benzema's Al-Ittihad are known to be three of them.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail are reporting that Al-Ittihad are weighing up a move for Ederson.

They can believe that a £25 million offer will tempt Pep Guardiola's side into selling the 30-year-old.

Al-Nassr could also look to sign the Brazilian as a replacement for soon-to-be free agent David Ospina.
