Dominik Szoboszlai will travel to Merseyside and undergo a medical after Liverpool triggered his £60m release clause; Newcastle were also interested but have now pulled out of the race for the 22 year

Once Szoboszlai made his desire to move to Anfield clear, it removed all other interested clubs, including Newcastle, from the equation.

That led to talks over a payment structure for the release clause with the breakthrough happening on Friday evening.

Personal terms were discussed with the midfielder's representatives at the start of the week and were never considered to be an issue.

There is a clear appreciation for Szoboszlai's talent and attitude as well as the Hungarian's comfort in playing across the midfield. His impressive chance-creation metrics and ball-carrying ability also fit the profile Liverpool are after.

Inter Milan  midfielder is also a target, but he is leaning towards staying at the San Siro amid strong interest from a number of Premier League clubs

"In a summer that has seen Jude Bellingham become the most expensive British footballer of all time, Declan Rice command a fee north of £100m and Mason Mount worth upwards of £55m, Liverpool are looking for bargains.

"The early arrival of World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister fits the player profile Jurgen Klopp is identifying at the age of 24.

"Dominik Szoboszlai is of the same mould. Still only 22, the Hungary captain is ripe for further improvement.

"A recent appearance against Montenegro in a European Qualifier ended goalless and largely forgettable, but it was punctuated by Szoboszlai's superior quality.

"Comfortable in the tight spaces of that pitch in Podgorica, the Premier League could be his next destination.

"The player's £60m release clause expires on Friday, and RB Leipzig are braced for a potential surge of late interest.
