Strengthening the midfield was the Reds’ goal. After seeing Naby Keïta and James Milner go freely to Werder Bremen and Brighton but also Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (free), Arthur Melo (return to Juventus) and Fabio Carvalho (loan to RB Leipzig) take to their heels, this area of the field was being relieved of many elements. Certainly, the Reds retain interesting elements in this sector such as Fabinho, Stefan Bajcetic, Curtis Jones, Jordan Henderson or even Harvey Elliott but they had to breathe new life.
It is with this in mind that Alexis Mac Allister had already joined the Scousers from Brighton against a check for 42 million euros. Nevertheless, Jürgen Klopp’s side didn’t want to stop there. In competition with Newcastle in the race for the Hungarian nugget Dominik Szoboszlai (22), the residents of Anfield Road were able to make the difference. To do this, we had to be convincing and offer a nice check which is estimated at around 70 million euros.
A pure product of Red Bull
Proud to announce this weight reinforcement, Liverpool split a press release on its site: “Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig, subject to a work permit. The Hungarian midfielder becomes the Reds’ second new addition to the summer window after agreeing terms and successfully passing a medical, following in the footsteps of Alexis Mac Allister.
Versatile attacking midfielder, able to play on the wings (especially on the right) and able to help out as a torchbearer, Dominik Szoboszlai is already captain of Hungary (32 caps, 7 goals) which he qualified for Euro 2020. within the Red Bull machine, whether with Salzburg since 2017 then with RB Leipzig since winter 2021, he is finally coming out of his most accomplished season with the Saxons. Having become the master of his training, he has 10 goals and 13 offerings in 46 games this season.
