As Liverpool set about reinforcing their midfield this summer, they first opted for the Premier League-proven Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, paying £35m for Argentina’s World Cup winner. The Anfield club’s next move was to sign Dominik Szoboszlai, who at 22 is already captain of Hungary.
Liverpool paid RB Leipzig his £60m release clause – for which they are getting a complete player who can operate all across the midfield and has shown leadership qualities since his youth. There is a hope he can add more energy and creativity to Jürgen Klopp’s team.
