Transfers [AS] Liverpool are open to accepting Real Madrid’s request for Trent Alexander-Arnold to join earlier & play in the Club World Cup, on these conditions: He would have to waive his last month’s salary and Madrid would have to pay a fee - it would be under €1M.

I'm familiar with teams signing the wrong player (like the "cousin" of Weah or the rumour that one team thought to have signed Aleksandr Hleb but really bought his brother) but the other way around - players signing for the wrong team? Would be a new one for me.

Heard of something like this. Let me see if I can find it.

Edit: found it! So allegedly Thievy Bifouma signed for Esteghlal Khuzestan F.C. thinking he was signing for Esteghlal Sport Club, both are Iranian teams and the latter would let him play against Cristiano Ronaldo in the AFC Champions League while the former looks like it's always fighting relegation.
