Do Liverpool fans agree? Rumors say Real Madrid is eyeing a “win-win” swap deal exchanging Szoboszlai and Rodrygo.
On 24 Feb 2026 GMT+7, with two years left on his contract, Dominic Szoboszlai, the versatile player for Liverpool, could be valued at up to £100 million on the market. However, his price will gradually drop if he does not sign a new contract.
This situation puts Liverpool's sporting director Richard Hughes in a difficult position—either try to retain Szoboszlai with a new contract under club terms or reluctantly sell him before his value declines.
Recently, Fichajes, a Spanish football transfer rumor website, reported that Real Madrid is interested in a “win-win” swap deal with Liverpool, potentially exchanging Dominic Szoboszlai for Rodrygo this summer.
Reports say Real Madrid is looking to overhaul their midfield. They want a midfielder who is agile, can score goals, and break through opponents’ defenses, with Szoboszlai seen as a very suitable option.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is searching for a new winger this summer amid concerns about the futures of Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah. Rodrygo Goes is considered a fitting choice for that position.
However, Liverpool might have the chance to acquire a more suitable Real Madrid player if the swap deal happens. For example, Camavinga and Tchouaméni are both players scouted closely by Liverpool and would likely fill the midfield gap better if Szoboszlai leaves.
