Liverpool are looking to sign the RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, the midfielder has a release close of £60 million in his contract but Liverpool are looking to get the deal done for a fee of around £50 million.
“Szoboszlai has a release clause of £60 million,” Bailey told 90min’s Talking Transfers Podcast. “Obviously that isn’t going to be needed to be paid here. I’m hearing around £50 million, Liverpool can get this done. But a spectacular player, really good.
“I think he is a CAM [central attacking midfielder]. I like him. I think he’s up front in a three-man midfield. I think it’s far superior to Mount and Fernandes, personally.”
The 22-year-old Hungarian midfielder is certainly one of the most promising talents in the Bundesliga and he should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Liverpool.
The Reds need to add technical ability and creativity in the middle of the park and the 22-year-old could be the ideal replacement for players like Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Liverpool have already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion and it appears that the Hungarian international will be their second midfield signing of the summer.
The 22-year-old midfielder picked up 10 goals and 13 assists across all competitions last season and he could improve Liverpool immensely in the middle of the park.
