Liverpool are engaged in talks with RB Leipzig for midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, with optimism now growing over a potential deal.

The prospect of a deal was initially downplayed when interest in the Hungarian language was first reported earlier this week.

However, This Is Anfield understands the situation has since changed, with the Reds now refusing to rule out a transfer for Szoboszlai.

The €70m release clause in the 22-year-old’s contract expires today, leaving little time for Liverpool to make the move at that price.

But the Reds are now actively trying to get a deal across the line, with the coming hours going to be crucial as they seek to exploit the clause.

Liverpool’s firm move comes after they held meetings with the player’s representatives earlier this week.

At that point, there was little belief a deal could be reached, with sources close to the club pouring cold water on the possibility of a transfer.

However, the Reds’ confidence now appears to have grown, although it remains to be seen if they can get a deal through the line before the aforementioned deadline passes.

Newcastle had previously been credited with a keen interest in Szoboszlai, which he thought they would pursue after the loss of James Maddison.

But their chances took a hit after Liverpool moved decisively in the last 24 hours.

Szoboszlai, the captain of Hungary, played 46 matches with Leipzig last season, finishing third in the German League, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists.
