UPDATE: Liverpool and Dominik Szoboszlai want to close the deal but the transfer fee is a big problem

After the Reds contacted Dominik Szoboszlai’s representatives about a prospective transfer, Szoboszlai expressed interest in moving to Liverpool this summer.

This is in line with a story from 90min, which claims that RB Leipzig has no intention of releasing him for less than the £60.5 million transfer fee that would activate his release clause.

According to 90min, Liverpool is now focusing on Dominik Szoboszlai as they want to add two more midfielders to their roster following the addition of Alexis MacAllister.

In fact, Jurgen Klopp’s side have registered their interest in the Hungary international. 90min claims that they have spoken to his representatives. And it is suggested that he is also keen on making the move to Anfield.

Clearly, there is a lot of work ahead. RB Leipzig are seemingly in no mood to compromise on the price. That is little surprise given that he has just enjoyed a season where he scored 10 goals and contributed 13 assists in all competitions.

But at 22 years of age, Szoboszlai should only get better in the years to come. So he could certainly prove to be very good value for money if a team is prepared to trigger his release clause.

Much may depend on how much money Liverpool have to spend on their other targets. Unfortunately, last year proved to be a disappointment for Klopp’s side. And they have several areas to strengthen before the season starts.

But Szoboszlai is an ‘exceptional‘ talent. So it would be a really exciting bit of business if Liverpool could now make a move for the youngster in this window.
