Dominik Szoboszlai looks all but set to become Liverpool FC's second signing of the summer.
The Hungary captain's release clause was officially triggered by the Reds on Friday evening after they had opened talks with RB Leipzig following productive discussions with the midfielder's representatives earlier in the week. Szoboszlai's terms expired on June 30 meaning Liverpool had to move quickly before the Bundesliga side were able to name their own price for an important member of the squad.
However, after activating the clause in the 22-year-old's deal, the Reds have been cleared to prepare a medical as Jurgen Klopp's midfield rebuild continues. Klopp is said to have been influential in Szoboszlai's decision to move to Anfield as the attacking midfielder is desperate to work under the German boss.
