'Absolute madness' - Liverpool and rival fans react after Dominik Szoboszlai release clause met

Liverpool have triggered Dominik Szoboszlai's £60million release clause with the intention of making the RB Leipzig star their second signing of the summer.

The Reds have informed Leipzig they are prepared to pay the full price before the clause expires at 23:59 CET. All that seemingly remains in the process is to complete a medical and finalise paperwork, then Szoboszlai will be able to call himself a new member of Jurgen Klopp's squad alongside Alexis Mac Allister.

The Hungary international had also been linked with Newcastle United prior to tonight's big news, but once Liverpool came calling the battle was swiftly won.

Supporters have been having their say on social media with Szoboszlai on course to become a Red, with plenty of positive reactions.

On Twitter, @Willim61 said: "MacAllister and Szoboszlai for £95mil is cracking business, get a box to box physical midfielder now and maybe another CB and we’re set."

@NickGrant10 Tweeted: "Excellent to see, if we get Thuram in after U21s Euros done that'll be the midfield sorted #Szoboszlai."

@M0_EHAB wrote: "Mac Allister + Szoboszlai= 105M Who Needs Bellingham?"

@HungarianFooty posted: "Szoboszlai at Liverpool will be an absolute madness. I'm ECSTATIC with this move. Finally, a Hungarian making the perfect transfer!!!! Genuinely think within a couple of years, he will grow into one of the best midfielders in the world. Unreal!"

@NotoriousJOS said: "Until they do it on the pitch, it's all theory, but Alexander-Arnold, Szoboszlai and Salah, on paper, could form a devastating right-hand side. All can go inside or outside and each is equipped with brilliant technical ability. They need to do more, but Liverpool starting well."

Not only that, but rival supporters even weighed in on the debate. A selection expressed their congratulations to Liverpool for their latest piece of business for the 22-year-old midfielder.

@TenHagEra stated: "Szoboszlai is an UNREAL signing from Liverpool I’m shook, will be up there as one of the buys of the summer."

And finally, @AlvinTycoon admitted: "That Szoboszlai signing makes me jealous ngl."
