Liverpool has elevated Dominik Szoboszlai's position on their priority list for reconstructing their midfield following a meeting with his representatives. The 22-year-old, who has also garnered significant interest from Newcastle United, possesses a €70m (£60m) release clause in his RB Leipzig contract, set to expire on June 30.

The Hungarian's versatility in midfield, exceptional chance creation statistics, and ability to carry the ball align perfectly with what Liverpool is seeking. The club has been actively evaluating various possibilities to improve the technical prowess, vibrancy, and depth in their central position.
Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella is also a target, while background work has been done on Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch and Khephren Thuram of Nice.

Liverpool is currently facing the largest overhaul of Jurgen Klopp's era, coinciding with a highly inflated market, particularly for midfielders. The absence of Champions League earnings and the absence of substantial player sales makes it challenging for the club to navigate these changes. Assessments are being made based on the affordability, availability, and determination to rejuvenate Liverpool's standing both domestically and in Europe.
The Reds successfully acquired Alexis Mac Allister in early June for an initial fee of approximately £35m, demonstrating their astute recruitment abilities. Nonetheless, this deal is seen as an exception rather than the standard amidst a summer characterized by escalating valuations.
