Jamie Carragher has revealed what his "dream" Liverpool transfer would be but admits it is a long shot. The Reds legend was honoured in Bilbao on Tuesday where he received the 2025 One Club Man award after spending his entire career at the Merseyside outfit. Before being handed this honour by Athletic Club, the ex-defender admitted he would love to see a La Liga player in a Liverpool shirt.
Carragher picks up special award
Carragher was honoured at Estadio de San Mames before Athletic Club's 1-1 draw with Girona, with the Spanish team recognising his loyalty to Liverpool over a 17-year career.
On the tribute, he said: "It is an honour to be here this afternoon. It means a lot to me. The biggest achievement of my career was to have played 17 years at the club of my life."

Carragher was then asked by DAZN which Athletic Club player he would take to Liverpool. Unsurprisingly, it was star Nico Williams.
He replied: "Yes. I would take the one everyone wants to take. Nico [Williams] is a fantastic player. He scored the first goal against England in the Euro final. Spain deserved to win. I know he is your player and he has renewed for 10 years, but I would like to see him in a Liverpool shirt. I know it is not going to happen, but I would like to dream about it."
Williams one of game's most coveted players
Arsenal and Barcelona have come close to signing Williams in the past year or so, and Liverpool have also been linked with the Spain international. Just when it looked like he might move to Barca this summer, he signed a new 10-year deal with Athletic Club. Therefore, it seems the 23-year-old will stay put at the Basque outfit for another season at least.

And the latter lock horns with Villarreal, Borussia Dortmund, and Mallorca over the same time period between this Saturday and October 4.
