RB Leipzig midfielder, Dominik Szoboszlai, has been given permission to travel to the UK to undergo a medical, after Liverpool triggered his £60m release clause on Friday.
Szoboszlai is very keen on the move to Anfield and has snubbed Newcastle United.
That led to talks over a payment structure for the release clause with the breakthrough happening on Friday evening.
Personal terms were discussed with the midfielder’s representatives at the start of the week and were never considered to be an issue.
There is a clear appreciation for Szoboszlai’s talent and attitude as well as the Hungarian’s comfort in playing across the midfield. His impressive chance-creation metrics and ball-carrying ability also fit the profile Liverpool are after.
The club had also been exploring multiple options as they look to enhance the technical quality, dynamism and depth in midfield.
Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella is also a target, but he is leaning towards staying at the San Siro amid strong interest from a number of Premier League clubs. One source has told Sky Sports News Barella wants to become a legend at Inter.
