According to rumors, Liverpool has activated Dominik Szoboszlai’s release clause in order to sign him from RB Leipzig.

In recent days, the Reds have been working to sign the 22-year-old.

A deal would appear to be “very difficult” to complete, according to Wednesday’s report from The Athletic’s David Ornstein, but things have changed since then.

According to Philipp Hinze of Sky Germany, the player has a €70 million release clause, and after June 30 it will automatically expire.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has been “pushing ahead” to complete the transaction.

Szoboszlai’s release clause is “triggered” by Liverpool.

According to Romano, Liverpool have indeed activated the full €70 million release clause to sign the Hungary international, and personal terms have also been reached.

He tweeted, “Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool, here we go! Understand RB Leipzig are now informed that Liverpool have triggered the release clause.

‘A deal worth €70 million has been completed and will soon be signed. Personal terms agreed upon; Szobo will soon be prepared for medical exams. Huge acquisition for LFC. “.

If the deal is completed, the 22-year-old will join Liverpool as their second summer acquisition after they signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton earlier in June.

After Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, and Darwin Nunez, he would rank as the club’s fourth-most expensive acquisition ever.

Szoboszlai would follow goalkeepers Adam Bogdan and Istvan Kozma as the third member of the Hungarian national team to play in a competitive game for Liverpool.

In each of his previous two Bundesliga campaigns, the attacking midfielder, who can also play in wide areas and as a member of a front three, has contributed to 14 goals.

Jurgen Klopp will use him as the newest piece of the puzzle as he attempts to reorganize his midfield in the wake of the departures of James Milner, Arthur Melo, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Agent says Jürgen Klopp should complete a “super” cut-rate deal, making Liverpool his “dream” team.

An agent has revealed his client dreams of clubs like ‘Liverpool’ and could be an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield next season.

Mohamed Salah is an elite footballer, but as he grows up, Liverpool can’t afford to rely on him alone forever. Sooner or later Jürgen Klopp has to find a solution where he can rest his top man and give him some respite during the busy seasons.

There is currently no one in the Liverpool squad who can cover Salah on the right wing. Diogo Jota has played there in the past, but he’s more effective in other roles and doesn’t have an outstanding resume.

Harvey Elliott could be another option, but in Liverpool’s system he’s better suited to a midfield role as the 20-year-old simply doesn’t have the speed and explosiveness to play in all three first of the Reds.

Other options like Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon are still in their infancy and Liverpool cannot rely on them either as Doak and Gordon need time to adjust to the demands of senior football.

That’s why the Reds should consider the market for another forward option this summer. Roberto Firmino’s departure leaves the Brazilian free in attack and Liverpool should look to fill that gap with a replacement option for Salah.

One player who could be an interesting candidate for the role is Hirving Lozano. Lozano, a fringe member of Napoli’s Scudetto-winning squad in Italy, is keen to take on new responsibilities this summer and recently his agent Alessandro Monfrecola made an interesting plea for Liverpool to be dropped by name.

Mondo Napoli writes that Lozano’s agent appeared as a guest on a radio show on Punto Nuovo where he was asked about his client and Monfrecola said the following:

“West Ham and Aston Villa have shown interest in Lozano but it seems to be a half-hearted interest. Lozano has always dreamed of clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United so I don’t think he can be particularly attracted to them [the two others].”]”

For the right price, Liverpool should consider making Lozano’s offer a reality. Although he hasn’t really started at Napoli yet, Lozano isn’t a bad option as a squad player if you take him off the bench or use him occasionally – for example when Salah is out at the CAN.

He finished the season with eight goals in 2075 minutes, averaging 0.35 goals per 90 minutes.

One would expect an offensive player to deliver a much better return on average, but considering Lozano has mostly been used off the bench, that’s not a bad return. Last season he finished the season in much better form with 12 goals in 1998 minutes.

With his contract expiring next summer and the player clearly willing to move elsewhere, there is the possibility that a favorable deal will be struck for Liverpool.

At the right price, he’s worth a try, especially as before moving to Napoli, Lozano was on Liverpool’s radar and Klopp has spoken highly of him in the past.

During the 2019/20 season, when Liverpool faced Napoli in the Champions League group stage, Klopp had this to say about Lozano during his press conference:

“He IS a great player, a super player. Big signing. I thought he was very good but he went to Napoli but seriously he is a very good player. Very good striker, interesting, he played very well in the first game against him.

Having already received Klopp’s stamp of approval, Liverpool should be tempted to back Lozano and help Salah.
