This is what Zsolt Szoboszlai had to say.
"‘Unfortunately nothing is public, we could go around in circles, but nothing is public yet, we have our plans, we know how to proceed, but for now we cannot reveal anything,’"
It looks like Dominik Szoboszlai has a clear plan but understandably his entourage are keeping tight lipped about his future. Whether that will see him end up at Anfield, only time will tell.
One thing for sure the perpetually energetic midfielder could be a great addition. His numbers since lockdown have been incredible in his last 25 games he has 13 goals and 20 assists. The Reds would have to fight off competition from RB Leipzig, Arsenal and AC Milan for his signature but with Dominik Szoboszlai regarded as one of the best players in Europe, it’s a fight worth pursuing.
His shooting technique is reminiscent of Steven Gerrard and he could slot in well alongside the Reds’ midfield three.
