There would be any. The products in this reaction are both soluble.

FeSO4(aq) + 2KCl(aq) --> FeCl2(aq) + K2SO4(aq)

even if Iron were somehow oxidized to Iron(III) the Chloride salt is still very soluble.

FeCl3 is still very soluble.

There is no reaction at all. All you get is a mixture of four ions. All possible combinations of them are soluble, so no reaction takes place.

Well, it won't be K2SO4, because all alkali metal salts are totally soluble.
