Liverpool to trigger Szoboszlai's £60m release clause


RB Leipzig have been informed by Liverpool that they will trigger Dominik Szoboszlai's £60m release clause.

Szoboszlai wants to join Liverpool and Newcastle have now pulled out of the running for the midfielder, which has left the Reds with a clear path to the Hungary international's signature.

Liverpool held positive meetings with Szoboszlai's representatives on Monday and are pressing ahead with discussions over a deal for the 22-year-old, whose release clause is understood to expire on Friday.

There is a clear appreciation for Szoboszlai's talent and attitude as well as the Hungarian's comfort in playing across the midfield. His impressive chance-creation metrics and ball-carrying ability also fit the profile Liverpool are after.

The club had also been exploring multiple options as they look to enhance the technical quality, dynamism and depth in midfield.
