Liverpool set for ENORMOUS Saudi windfall after Fabrizio Romano update
Liverpool are set to secure an enormous amount of money from Saudi Arabia this summer. Fabrizio Romano has backed out claims up.
Liverpool are set to overhaul their forward options this summer as the club aim to give Arne Slot a group of attackers that suit him. That hasn't been the case up to now, of course.

The most remarkable thing about this season, after all, is the fact that Slot is walking to the Premier League title with Jurgen Klopp's squad. Liverpool only gave him Federico Chiesa to work with last summer - and the Italian has barely played 30 minutes all season.
Things will change after this campaign, however. Liverpool are going to buy players for Slot and that also means moving on some of those currently at the club.
Anfield Watch exclusively revealed this plan back in February. There will be an overhaul, there will be some major exits - and there will be a massive influx of cash.
That's something Fabrizio Romano has moved to confirm.

Liverpool x Saudi Arabia
As we explained back in February, Saudi Arabia want to buy Liverpool's forwards. Mo Salah is top of their shortlist, of course, but they wouldn't actually need to buy him as his contract is up.
Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, though? Both are up for sale and both are targeted by Saudi Pro League sides.
Nunez actually had an offer in January but Liverpool rejected it. Anfield Watch was first to that story and despite initial denials from elsewhere, it's now widely accepted.
That interest remains and Romano has also backed up our claim that Saudi interest in Diaz is there.
"In January, the player decided to stay at Liverpool and focus on Liverpool's season," he said on YouTube. "But now the Saudi clubs are still there for Luis Diaz. The interest is still there.
"Al-Nassr and not only [them]."
Neither Nunez nor Diaz are in the final year of their contract this summer. Both, then, will command large fees in order to leave Liverpool.
Saudi Arabia isn't exactly shy to pay them, either, and it sets up a gigantic windfall for Liverpool this summer. That's exactly what they need, too, with so many plans to sign players.

Alexander Isak, for instance, would cost over £100m - well, here's how they pay for that in both wages and transfer fee.
