Dominik Szoboszlai admits he had just three days to wrap up his £60m move to Liverpool in 2023 and revealed how a face-to-face chat with former manager Jurgen Klopp smoothed the pathway to Anfield.

The Reds signed the Hungary international from RB Leipzig two years ago after triggering a release clause that was days away from expiring in his contract with the Bundesliga club.

Szoboszlai was available for £60m until the beginning of July that year and as the Reds pressed ahead with a midfield rebuild that also saw them bring in Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch that summer, the Reds had to act fast to avoid drawn-out negotiations with Leipzig, who were keen to retain the all-action midfielder.

In an interview with Red Bull, Szoboszlai has explained how the affair had to be concluded relatively swiftly and revealed how a FaceTime call with the legendary Klopp helped put him at ease ahead of a move to England.

"It was an easy choice," Szoboszlai says.

It’s a huge step.

"It’s a very proud moment [to win the Premier League].

I’m proud of them as well – that they kept on going with me and now we will keep on going together.

"My dad (Zsolt) has all the medals I’ve won.

That’s what I’m going to do with the Premier League as well.

He has all of them, but I’m thinking of getting everything made again and keeping them for myself to build a trophy room."

On his friendship with former Red Bull Salzburg team-mate and current Manchester City star Erling Haaland, Szoboszlai added: "We’re still in contact now.

We’re both going for the Premier League title every year, so we see each other sometimes.
