Liverpool has moved swiftly to secure the deal on the final day that the release clause is active, as Szoboszlai is reportedly eager to make the switch to Anfield. Noted transfer expert Fabrizio Romano now asserts that Jurgen Klopp's team has triggered the release clause before the deadline and is nearing the completion of their second signing for the summer.
The player has already agreed to personal terms with the Premier League club, and a medical examination is scheduled to take place before the deal is officially announced. This agreement marks the second transaction between the two clubs on that day, following Fabio Carvalho's loan move from Liverpool to Leipzig for the 2023-24 season.
Hungarian international Szoboszlai will become Liverpool's second significant signing for the summer, joining World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield. Szoboszlai joined Leipzig from sister club Red Bull Salzburg in 2021 and has netted 20 goals in 91 appearances across his two seasons in Germany. He also played a crucial role in Leipzig's DFB-Pokal triumphs in both of his campaigns at the club, including scoring in the final against Eintracht Frankfurt last month.
