And yet it is still set to be a big summer for sporting director Richard Hughes.

Hughes has already sealed deals with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to keep the pair at Liverpool for another two years, but Trent Alexander-Arnold has chosen to make the move to Real Madrid rather than extend into what could be the peak period in his career.

Huijsen has always favored a move to Los Blancos but the question was whether they would be in the market for a defender.
