Al Hilal transfer chase for Luis Díaz

Entities: Luis Díaz · Al Hilal Football Club · Vincent Kompany · Jan‑Christian Dreesen · Crysencio Summerville

Overview

In late July 2026, Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal announced an aggressive pursuit of Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz, signalling readiness to pay a €25 million annual salary and a transfer fee between $120 million and $150 million. The club’s strategy was to secure a personal agreement with Díaz before approaching Bayern, leveraging a summer budget of roughly $350 million.

Two days later, reports confirmed that Díaz rejected the lucrative offer, opting to honour his contract with Bayern Munich. Bayern’s hierarchy emphasized his importance to the team and showed no intent to negotiate a sale, while Al Hilal indicated it might consider a higher‑value bid to change the German club’s position.
