Richard Hughes gets sensational swap deal offer | OneFootball

Real Madrid have also beaten Liverpool in two Champions League finals in 2018 and 2022 to rub further salt into the wounds of the Anfield faithful.

Now though there is a reported transfer potentially being offered to Hughes that could benefit both sides.

According to Defensa Central in Spain, Real Madrid are ready to offer a sensational swap deal to Liverpool that would involve Rodrygo joining the Reds and Alonso reuniting with Florian Wirtz.

The report claims that Real Madrid are long-term admirers of Wirtz and they would be open to doing business with Liverpool as they are keen to add the German international to Alonso's current system.

In return, Madrid would even be willing to offer up Rodrygo, who is someone Liverpool have been interested in for a long time and were offered the chance to sign him but refused because of his high wage demands.

The report does state that at this stage it would be unlikely for Liverpool to agree to such a proposal as they are still very keen on Wirtz to hit the ground running.

However, if Wirtz continues to struggle Liverpool's stance could change.

Ultimately, this report is to be taken with a pinch of salt. The media based in Spain love to throw up hypothetical situations like this.

Only recently, Dominik Szoboszlai was also spoken about as a potential player the Spanish giants could target. Alexis Mac Allister is also supposedly on Real Madrid's radar.

It seems as though any Liverpool player who is highly rated ends up being linked with a move to the Bernabeu.

Whether any of those moves happen is unlikely. Although Konate's ultimate free transfer to Real Madrid is becoming increasingly more likely with every day that passes without an agreement for a contract extension.

And that should be the biggest concern for Liverpool fans.
