Liverpool's reasons for signing Dominik Szoboszlai over Mason Mount as Mo Salah plan hatched

Liverpool cooled their interest in Mason Mount because the cost of signing the England international proved too much.

The Reds signed Dominik Szoboszlai, 22, from RB Leipzig in a £60million deal. It's believed the Hungary captain has agreed a five-year deal and will earn £120,000-a-week on Merseyside. He's Jurgen Klopp's second signing of the summer after Alexis Mac Allister.

Liverpool were linked with Mount, 24, but he's joined Manchester United instead in a £60m deal. The midfielder, who had just a year left on his Chelsea contract, will earn £250,000-a-week at Old Trafford, making him much more expensive than Szoboszlai.
