Liverpool trigger release clause to sign Bundesliga star

Liverpool have triggered the release clause in the contract of RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.

The Merseyside outfit have already bolstered their midfield with Alexis Mac Allister this summer. They are now on the verge of another signing.

The Reds have decided to activate Szoboszlai's buy-out clause which expires tonight and he is now expected to travel for his medical tests.

Jurgen Klopp's side had an under-par season in the Premier League last term. They finished fifth in the table behind Newcastle United.

Despite this, they remain one of the most lucrative destinations, considering their tremendous achievements over the past five years.

The Reds remain one of the elite Premier League teams, and they will be aiming to challenge for the league title again next season.

Liverpool are likely to focus on the central defensive department after completing the necessary formalities for Szoboszlai.

Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are both on the firing line, and one of them could be replaced with a marquee signing this summer.
