Used to be teammates with Haaland
In a summer that has seen Jude Bellingham potentially become the most expensive English footballer of all time, Arsenal spending up to £100m on Declan Rice and Mason Mount worth £55m, Liverpool are causing trouble. surprised by his transfer tendency.
Capable of both a winger and playmaker role, Szoboszlai has a similar style to Alexis Mac Allister. At just 22 years old, the Hungarian national team captain has proven his great potential.

With 32 caps for the national team, Szoboszlai is becoming a pillar of Hungary.
The 22-year-old player played with Erling Haaland in Austria before exploding in Leipzig. When Haaland moved to Dortmund, Szoboszlai became the mainstay of the team, winning the title of best player in the 2020 Austrian national championship.
Finishing in 8th place in the 2020 Golden Boy awards, Szoboszlai began to showcase his talent on a bigger stage.
Back after the pаin of EURO 2020
Two summers ago, a groin ιnjury caused Szoboszlai to miss EURO 2020 after scoring the decisive last-minute goal against Iceland to help Hungary qualify for the finals.
It is a heavy blоw for a country that has not played at the World Cup since 1986 but has just qualified for the EURO for the second time in a row.
At the age of 20, Szoboszlai has been considered Hungary’s best player for decades by the country’s fans.

Of the 681 minutes Szoboszlai played in the Champions League last season, 621 were spent on the right side of midfield. The 22-year-old could adopt a similar role at Liverpool, providing width for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah to roam freely.
In 24 games last season, Szoboszlai scored eight goals and provided five assists while playing on the right wing. When coach Marco Rose pushed him into a higher position at Leipzig, he scored 5 goals and assisted 3 times for his teammates.
Connect with Liverpool
Newcastle coach Eddie Howe is a passionate fan and craves the services of Szoboszlai. But immediately after his appearance, Liverpool became the 22-year-old player’s priority.
There is always the possibility that Szoboszlai will head to the Premier League, despite interest from clubs across Europe. Earning only around £80,000 a week at Leipzig, he may have been enticed by the attractive salary.
Furthermore, Liverpool has a good relationship with Leipzig having recruited Naby Keita and Ibrahima Konate.
After starting his senior career at Liefering, Szoboszlai signed for Red Bull Salzburg in 2018 before joining Leipzig in 2021 despite interest from AC Milan and Real Madrid.

During his time in Salzburg, he won the Austrian championship four times and the Austrian Cup three times. Since joining Leipzig, Szoboszlai has won the DFB-Pokal twice, and will now aim to return to the Champions League with Liverpool.
As the next star to come off Red Bull’s famous “conveyor belt”, Liverpool’s newest recruit is now ready to step onto the biggest stage.
What does Szoboszlai bring to Liverpool?
Szoboszlai is a player with great potential and is ready to explоde in the Premier League. The 22-year-old midfielder has excellent technique and loves long-range shots from outside the penalty area. He can both score and create goals and has a high sense of responsibility.

Newcastle and Liverpool are both very suitable for Szoboszlai. He promises to be a transformative signing as Liverpool showed a lack of dynamism in midfield last season.
