Newcastle United are keen on signing Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig this summer.
According to a report from Football Insider, Newcastle have now opened talks with RB Leipzig regarding a summer transfer for the 22-year-old Hungarian midfielder. Szoboszlai has a release clause in his contract of around €70 million and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle are prepared to pay big money for him this summer.
The Hungarian midfielder has been a key player for RB Leipzig this season and he has 9 goals and 13 assists to his name across all competitions. He could improve Newcastle in the final third and the Magpies would do well to secure his services.
Newcastle have drawn quite a few league matches this season and they will need to improve their attacking options in order to turn these draws into wins. The Magpies ended up drawing 14 games in the league this past season.
Szoboszlai will certainly help create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates and chip in with goals himself. The 22-year-old is quite young and he is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for Newcastle United.
The Hungarian is highly rated in European football and he has a big future ahead of him. He has the attributes to develop into a Premier League star and Eddie Howe could help him improve and fulfil his potential.
The Newcastle manager has done well to nurture talented young players throughout his managerial career.
Meanwhile, Leipzig are set to lose Christopher Nkunku during the summer transfer window and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to sell two key players in one window.
As far as the midfielder is concerned, he is likely to be tempted to join Newcastle. The Magpies are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and they have secured Champions League qualification.
They will be an attractive destination for most players and a move to the Premier League would be the ideal next step in the Hungarian’s career. The player has been linked with a move to Liverpool as well.
