Dominik Szoboszlai was already Hungary’s most expensive footballer, two years before his move to Liverpool.
A €20m signing for RB Leipzig in January 2021, the 22-year-old’s £60m swoop to Anfield has seen him break his own record. He is without a doubt the most high-profile player the 9.71m populated nation has produced since the legendary three-time European Cup winner Ferenc Puskas.
The playmaker will become the third Hungarian to play competitively for Liverpool, following in the footsteps of Istvan Kozma and Adam Bogdan. But with former West Bromwich Albion and Fulham midfielder Zoltan Gera arguably still his country’s most successful export in Premier League history, his homeland, despite boasting one of the all-time greats in Puskas, have ultimately struggled to break onto that elite stage.
