Liverpool exploring transfer deal for Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig

Liverpool are exploring a move to sign RB Leipzig attacker Dominik Szoboszlai.

They met with 22-year-old’s representatives this week with a view to a transfer this summer.

Any potential deal is complicated, however, and there is an acceptance within the club that it will be a very difficult deal to get done.

Szoboszlai has a €70million release clause in his contract — with conflicting reports about its expiry — but regardless any move would involve a significant financial outlay.

He is the latest attacking midfield option being considered by the club and fits the profile they are looking for in the window, following the earlier pursuit of England international Mason Mount.

As things stand Szoboszlai is high in Liverpool’s thinking amid interest in the likes of both Khephren Thuram and Romeo Lavia, while any move is unrelated to Fabio Carvalho’s proposed loan move to the Bundesliga club.

Szoboszlai is a key player for Leipzig, making 48 appearances during the 2022-23 season, scoring 10 goals.

A regular for Hungary, he also has 32 caps for his country.

Liverpool have already sealed the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer.
