Posted Monday, July 03, 2023 by Tribalfootball.com

Liverpool have announced the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.

The Hungary captain moves to Anfield after Liverpool agreed to pay his €70m buyout clause. He joins on a five-year contract.

"It's a really historic club, really good players, good coach," he said.

"For me, it was perfect to make the next step in a club like this. The fans, the stadium, everything is really good."

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp also said: "We already have a little knowledge of Dominik as an opponent because we had a couple of really tough games against RB Salzburg when he was a player there, and I think everyone who saw those fixtures will have realised that even at that stage he was a really interesting prospect.

"I'm pretty sure he was still a teenager at that time and since then he has made some big strides - moving to Leipzig, doing really, really well in the Bundesliga, playing for the Hungary national team and then becoming captain of his national team at an incredibly young age.

"This is a signing for our present and also for our future, and the work that has gone into it could not be more appreciated."
