Having fired the starting pistol early in their summer recruitment with the addition of Brighton & Hove Albion’s Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool now appear to have the bit between their teeth.
From rumoured interest to the deal being signed, the acquisition of Dominik Szoboszlai for £60m from RB Leipzig was done and dusted in less than a week, with the Reds moving quickly to engage after it emerged the 22-year-old Hungarian attacking midfielder’s release clause was to expire at the end of June.
That would have emboldened Leipzig to either try and keep hold of their most prized asset, or at least for them to eke more money out of the deal that they would have received if his release clause was exercised.
