Dominik Szoboszlai: Liverpool’s Potential Transformational Signing
Liverpool have been linked with a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai this summer, and fans are convinced he can be an “output demon” for the club. Reports have suggested that Szoboszlai has held talks with Liverpool representatives this week ahead of a potential move to Anfield.
With the likes of Khephren Thuram and Romeo Lavia also being targeted by Jurgen Klopp, Szoboszlai has captured the imagination of fans due to his potential to be a transformational signing. His €70 million (£60.4m) release clause in his contract at Leipzig is due to expire at the end of June, potentially allowing for a more favourable deal to be negotiated.
What Makes Szoboszlai Special?
Szoboszlai is a right-footed RCM, with lethality in ball striking, who understands space and can cross from the half-space. He has burst for up to 90 minutes and is also technically astute, and is good at tracking back and pressing. Fans have praised his ability to be an output demon, with Diogo Jota getting service from MacAllister, Szoboszlai, Trent & Salah being seen as a scary sight.
Off the ball, Szoboszlai has shown his commitment to the team, with one example being him tracking back from one end of the pitch to the other to tackle Jarrod Bowen after delivering a superb free-kick in Hungary’s 4-0 win over England.
Szoboszlai’s Stats
Szoboszlai’s stats for a player who is 22 are freakishly good. He averages 0.61 goals/assist per game, and many believe that £60.4m would still be smart money for such a talented midfielder. Fans have urged Liverpool to get the deal done, with some suggesting that Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Thuram for £135m would be the best midfield rebuild we could ask for with FSG’s stinginess if it comes to money.
Conclusion
Dominik Szoboszlai is seen as a potential transformational signing for Liverpool, and fans have urged the club to get the deal done before the end of June when his release clause expires. With his impressive stats and potential to be an output demon, Szoboszlai could be exactly what Liverpool need to challenge for the title next season. What are your thoughts on Dominik Szoboszlai?
