According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are nearing the completion of the signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, with talks now in the final stages. Romano took to Twitter to confirm the progress in negotiations with the Hungarian midfielder.
Liverpool and Newcastle are the two English clubs vying for Szoboszlai’s signature, but Romano suggests that it is Liverpool who are set to emerge as the victors in this race.
Recent reports have unexpectedly linked Szoboszlai with a potential move to Anfield. This news comes as a surprise, considering that the club’s focus has primarily been on acquiring midfielders who can operate in deeper positions.
The possibility of Szoboszlai being open to leaving RB Leipzig has presented an opportunity for Liverpool to make a move for the player.

The reported high transfer fee, combined with their recent acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister, indicates the readiness of owners FSG to support Jurgen Klopp in rebuilding the squad.
While the move for Szoboszlai comes as a surprise, there is no doubt about his immense talent and the additional firepower he would bring to Liverpool’s already formidable attack.
The role he would play within the team remains to be seen, but Klopp evidently sees value in adding him to the squad, and fans will welcome another attacking option.
Liverpool’s activity in the summer transfer window is shaping up well, positioning them alongside other major clubs. The signing of a player like Szoboszlai demonstrates intent, and it is likely that Liverpool will continue to be active in the market.
