It was a deal that was done almost as quickly as it was mooted as a possibility.
While the Liverpool transfer focus had long been suggested to have been focusing on the acquired Alexis Mac Allister and targets Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram, the interest in Dominik Szoboszlai started to gain traction early last week before the Hungarian star was unveiled as the Reds’ latest number eight on Sunday.
Liverpool’s awareness of his €70m release clause was made known last week, with some suggestions being that it might be too much for Reds owners Fenway Sports Group to sanction. In reality, the deal was done in a matter of days and Szoboszlai was pictured in Liverpool red almost as quickly as he was first linked.
