Liverpool are being linked with Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
With Real coach Zinedine Zidane keen on Liverpool striker Sadio Mane a swap deal has been mooted.
The Guardian says Real could offer Varane to the Reds in exchange, with the Frenchman keen to leave Spain for a new experience.
Mane signed a new contract earlier this season and it's suggested Liverpool would be unwilling to cash in on the in-form forward.
Varane, meanwhile, has also been mentioned as a target for Bayern Munich and Manchester United since news of him being unsettled.
