Jurgen Klopp personally contacted Dominik Szoboszlai to persuade the Hungary captain to sign a five-year contract with Liverpool.
The Reds announced the signing of Szoboszlai, 22, from RB Leipzig on Sunday. Liverpool activated his £60million release clause after an impressive 2022/23 campaign, which saw him score 10 goals and provide 13 assists to help Leipzig win the German Cup.
Szoboszlai was "very reassured" by Klopp and felt relaxed when the two spoke over a video call. The Liverpool boss has admitted he is "excited" to see his new signing in action next season and will be hoping he can help them challenge for silverware again.
