Newcastle United's Dominik Szoboszlai transfer stance as Premier League clubs circle

Newcastle United remain unsure over a deal for RB Leipzig's Dominik Szoboszlai at the midfielder's current transfer price point. The Hungarian captain's €70m (£60m) release clause has caught the eye of multiple Premier League suitors but may prove to be too rich for the Magpies this summer.

Newcastle will try to bargain with RB Leipzig as they seek to secure their first summer signing but with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool sniffing around, it may be a deal this miss out on. Eddie Howe previously revealed he wanted 'elite' players brought to Tyneside and Szoboszlai certainly fits that bill.

RB Leipzig are resigned to losing the player this summer and have already began their damage limitation by closing in on moves for Lens striker Loïs Openda and Hoffenheim midfielder Christoph Baumgartner. The German club have also persuaded highly-rated Spaniard Dani Olmo to sign a new and improved contract.
