Szoboszlai set to complete move
Liverpool triggered his release clause
First signing of the summer
WHAT HAPPENED? Liverpool are set to complete their first signing of the summer, as Szoboszlai has undergone his medical at Anfield, and is now set to sign a five-year contract, The Athletic reports. The club have paid his release clause, and the deal is now set to be announced imminently
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Newcastle were also pursuing a move for the attacking midfielder earlier this summer but pulled out, as they focus on a deal to sign AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali. That has left the Reds with a clear path to sign the Hungary international.
AND WHAT’S MORE: Szoboszlai has come through the Red Bull academy, first playing for Red Bull Salzburg, and later moving on to Leipzig, where he has developed into one of the more eye-catching Bundesliga players. The 22-year-old made a total of 91 appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring 20 goals and laying on 22 assists. He is now set to move to Merseyside.
