Jurgen Klopp’s side have gained confidence that a deal can be reached with Die Roten Bullen for the highly sought-after midfielder. This change in circumstances has given the club renewed hope of securing the 22-year-old’s signature.
The Magpies, who had previously shown interest in the Hungarian, have now stepped aside, leaving Liverpool with a clearer path to pursue the talented playmaker. With their rivals out of the picture, the Reds’ chances of signing Szoboszlai have improved significantly.
Financial Considerations and Release Clause
The transfer is likely to involve a significant financial outlay for the Premier League side. The midfielder has a release clause in his contract, reported to be around £60 million.

What Does Dominik Szoboszlai Bring to Liverpool?
The Hungary captain could be part of the midfield rebuild at the English outfit with Klopp having welcomed Argentine World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion to the Merseyside giants recently.
The 22-year-old is capable of playing on either side of the midfield while also thriving in the forward positions. He would undoubtedly be a fantastic signing for the Reds who aim to challenge rivals Manchester City for the league title next season.
