LIVERPOOL have signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig for a fee of €70 million.
The Hungary captain’s switch was confirmed today by the English Premier League club after they paid his release clause.
“Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig, subject to a work permit,” the Reds announced on their official website today.
“The Hungary midfielder becomes the Reds’ second new addition of the summer window after agreeing terms and successfully completing a medical, following in the footsteps of Alexis Mac Allister.
“Szoboszlai arrives at Anfield after two-and-a-half years in the Bundesliga with Leipzig, where he made 91 appearances in all competitions.”
He said he was pleased to complete the move from the German Bundesliga to one of England’s biggest clubs.
“It’s really, really good. I enjoyed the last [few] days and I’m looking forward to knowing everybody better,” the 22-year-old told the Liverpool website.
“The last three or four days went really long; it was not that easy. But at the end I’m here, I’m happy and I can’t wait to get started.
“[A] really historic club, really good players, good coach, everything is good. For me it was perfect to make the next step in a club like this. The fans, the stadium, everything is really good.”
Szoboszlai made his professional debut for FC Liefering in Austria, in July 2017 and went on to score 26 goals in 83 appearances for RB Salzburg, featuring against Liverpool twice – home and away – in the 2019-20 Champions League group stage.
He was also named the Austrian Bundesliga Player of the Season for 2019-20.
“I can’t wait to see you (supporters) in the stadium and I’m going to do everything that is possible from my side,” he added.
