Dominik Szoboszlai transfer latest
Liverpool are looking into a deal for RB Leipzig's Dominik Szoboszlai as they continue assessing options for their midfield rebuild.
Hungary captain Szoboszlai has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in the Bundesliga having joined Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg two years ago.
It's understood a meeting has taken place with Szoboszlai's Hungarian-based representatives EM Sports Management as Liverpool continue to explore what is possible this summer, having already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this month.

There is conflicting information over the expiry date of a release clause of around £60m, however. Some reports suggest it runs out on June 30, while others have claimed it is mid-July. It's unclear how much the Bundesliga outfit would value Szoboszlai at if the release clause was no longer in place.

£60m man 'as talented as Erling Haaland'
Former RB Salzburg and Leeds United manager Jesse March has previously claimed Liverpool target Dominik Szoboszlai is "as talented" as Manchester City star Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian talisman took the Premier League by storm in his debut season in England as he romped to the golden boot. On his destructive path in the top-flight, he beat the Reds attacker Mohamed Salah's record as the most prolific striker in a season netting 36 times.
Liverpool are exploring the possibility of a deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Szoboszlai as Jurgen Klopp continues to assess his options for a rebuild. Alexis Mac Allister became the first piece of the puzzle after arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion in June while the likes of Khephren Thuram and Ryan Gravenberch are appreciated by chiefs at Anfield.
Szoboszlai, 22, could cost the Reds £60m should they trigger his release clause - but they may have to move quickly with reports suggesting that fixed fee expires as early as June 30.
