Done! Liverpool add another exciting piece to their midfield mosaique

Jurgen Klopp knew he needed a major overhaul of his midfield and he’s got one. After the early arrival of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, the Reds have now completed the signing of Hungarian international Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old arrived on Merseyside on Saturday to undergo a medical, which he passed with no issues. He signed a five-year contract after Liverpool triggered his $76 million release clause to sign him.Newcastle United had also been interested and were able to offer Szboszlai Champions League football for the coming campaign, but the attacking midfielder made it known he was keen to work with Klopp. It is understood the breakthrough in talks initially came when the two clubs were thrashing out the terms of Fabio Carvalho’s season-long loan move to Leipzig, which was confirmed on Friday afternoon.##NAJAVA_MECA_7347329##Szoboszlai already had experience of playing at Anfield, when he arrived in Liverpool to face the Reds in a Champions League clash in 2019. That night, the Hungarian ended on the losing side as Klopp’s team narrowly won a seven-goal thriller.”That time made me feel bad because we lost 4-3! I’ve almost never been nervous before the game. I think this was the first time in my life. Of course, the stadium, the fans were unbelievable, even though they were against Salzburg. And we will see how it is when they are with me. I heard that Anfield is going to be bigger. It’s a really proud time to get on the pitch in Anfield as a Liverpool player.”Szoboszlai will wear the numbner eight shirt at Anfield.
