Liverpool 'trigger release clause to sign RB Leipzig star Dominik Szoboszlai'

Liverpool have triggered the release clause to sign RB Leipzig star Dominik Szoboszlai, it has been reported.

The Reds have been pursuing a deal to sign the 22-year-old over recent days.

Despite The Athletic's David Ornstein reporting on Wednesday that a deal would appear to be 'very difficult' to do, the situation has progressed since.

The player has a €70 million release clause, with Sky Germany's Philipp Hinze claiming the clause would automatically expire after June 30.

Liverpool have been 'pushing ahead' to get the deal done, and according to Fabrizio Romano, they have taken another step closer.
