La Liga giant Real Madrid has been linked this week with what could become one of the most sensational player exchanges in football history.
According to reports, Rodrygo could move to the Premier League to join Liverpool, in exchange for Florian Wirtz.
Both Rodrygo and Wirtz are experiencing difficult starts to the new season.
In the Brazilian’s case, his inconsistent form has limited him to just three starts across all competitions. Since last season, he has gone 28 consecutive matches without scoring.
On the other hand, German talent Florian Wirtz has been struggling to adapt to English football. Although he has played regularly under manager Arne Slot, his performances for Liverpool have been below expectations.
These struggles have led to reports this week suggesting a possible swap deal between the two players.
According to Fichajes, citing Defensa Central, since Wirtz played the best football of his career under Xabi Alonso, the German could be tempted by a move to Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Liverpool — who have long been looking for reinforcements on the wings — have been linked with Rodrygo for some time.
Although such a deal remains very difficult to complete, if the form of both players does not improve soon, it could become a real option.
It’s also worth noting that, in addition to Rodrygo, Real Madrid would likely have to pay a significant transfer fee to secure Florian Wirtz from Liverpool.
