Liverpool set to trigger £61m clause and get deal done for Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool could be in a race against time to trigger the release clause of a transfer target.

Liverpool don’t have long left to trigger the release clause of RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai. It is claimed the £61million clause in the star’s contract expires on Friday.

Liverpool are still hoping to add more midfielders to their squad this summer. Alexis Mac Allister was one of the first major signings completed by a Premier League club.

The Argentine joined from Brighton for an initial £35million. But the departures of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita have left Jurgen Klopp short of midfield options.

Captain Jordan Henderson and Thiago are also both the wrong side of 30. Klopp is in the market for fresh legs and Szoboszlai has emerged as a target.
