Liverpool Signs Hungarian Szoboszlai from Leipzig

Liverpool, a competitor in the English Premier League, announced that it has signed Hungarian forward Dominik Szoboszlai from German club Leipzig. Liverpool did not disclose the financial details of the contract, but German media reported that they paid the release clause amounting to 70 million euros (76.38 million dollars). The 22-year-old Szoboszlai is the second new signing for Liverpool after Argentine Alexis Mac Allister. The newspaper "Leipziger Volkszeitung" quoted Eberl saying, "Josko and his advisors have expressed the player's desire to move to Manchester City." He added, "We are in talks with Manchester. There is nothing more to say at this time." Several important players have left Leipzig, the DFB-Pokal champion, with the latest transfer being midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai joining Liverpool on Sunday. Defender Konrad Laimer moved to Bayern Munich while French international Christopher Nkunku joined Chelsea. Eberl stated, "I understand the frustration and concern of the fans. No team or coach in the world wants to lose players of such quality," and added, "But we were prepared for that, and I can promise that we will once again have a good and strong squad."
