Liverpool’s Target Szoboszlai, Stuns Neymar, Delivers Perfect Response to Taunt

• Liverpool are set to complete a move for RB Leipzig's Dominik Szoboszlai
• The RB Leipzig midfielder was one of the Bundesliga's leading creators last season
• The Hungarian captain once had a spat with PSG star Neymar Jr

Liverpool have agreed to a deal with RB Leipzig, to sign midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, with the player having a £60 million release clause in his contract.

Both club officials held talks with the Hungary captain's representatives earlier this week as they held exploratory discussions around a potential deal for the attacking midfielder.

Having bid farewell to long-serving trio Roberto Firmino, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the end of the season, Jurgen Klopp and co have begun the process of rejuvenating Liverpool's squad following a severely underwhelming campaign.

First through the door was Brighton's World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, who is set to be followed by Szoboszlai after an impressive Bundesliga campaign.

Stats by Whoscored.com show that Szoboszlai was one of the Bundesliga's leading creators last season, with only some of Europe's best and most exciting talents ahead of him in the charts.

Across the 2022/2023 campaign, Szoboszlai was involved in 163 open-play shot-ending sequences

But a slight delve into the archives tells you that Szoboszlai's technical skills are not the only ones he can boast about.

Szoboszlai's spat with Neymar

A post-match interview from November 2021 is telling of the composure that he possesses.

After netting an injury-time penalty kick to secure a 2-2 draw against PSG in the UEFA Champions League group stages, Szoboszlai revealed as reported by Talksport that star man Neymar attempted to throw him off the task at hand.

"He was asking me 'Are you going to score?' I said yes," Szoboszlai. "He said 'Are you sure?' I said yes. I never miss. It is how it is."

Such an emphatic and confident response from the 22-year-old may just convince Reds fans that he has the mental capacity to display big performances on the big stage.

Klopp needs players in his squad who are good characters and Szoboszlai fits that bill.

He will be a quality addition, and should this deal go through, Szoboszlai will be out to stop his friend Haaland from winning yet another Premier League title.

Liverpool agrees deal for Szoboszlai

Sports Brief previously reported Premier League giants Liverpool are close to signing RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai after they triggered his £60.1 million release clause.

The 22-year-old was a vital cog for a Leipzig team that won the German Cup and finished third in the Bundesliga last season.

The Hungarian is believed to be the perfect fit to strengthen Liverpool’s declining midfield.
