EI Madrid remains faithful to its transfer strategy of recent years, based on hiring young players with a lot of projection who are still at a reasonable price that allows them to anticipate the great fortunes of the Premier or to PSG. The club's technical secretariat, headed by Juni Calafat, has several players satelliteized looking to make the leap to the star system. As AS learned, one of the players starting to get more positive reports for is Dominik Szoboszlai.
He is a 20-year-old midfielder, who is dazzling at the Austrian RB Salzburg. In the Champions has attracted special attention, as demonstrated in the Metropolitan Wanda scoring one of the two goals of Salzburg to the team of Cholo. In Europe He already has four goals (two in the preliminary phase and two in his qualifying group that he shares with Atlético, Bayern Munich and Lokomotiv Moscow).
Szoboszlai he is a star in Hungary and in Austria he is one of the figures of their Bundesliga (He has a goal and six assists in this course). He signed for Salzburg on January 16, 2018 and His current contract ends on June 30, 2022. They mean that his club will not be able to climb the vine with the price in the summer of 2021, since you will only have one year left to finalize your contract. According to Transfermarkt, its price is 25 million euros, an affordable amount as is the market.
Quoted. Although his name is not yet known to the general public, Arsenal (Arteta likes a lot), Milan and Leipzig have already asked about their situation, which is now better placed than the rest of the suitors by having the same sponsor as Salzburg (Red bull).
Madrid knows that for next season it must renew its engine room. The club will listen to offers for Isco (contract also ends in 2022 and its price is 30 million) and the advantage of Szoboszlai is that he can play as a midfielder behind the center forward or defeated the left wing (even if he is right-handed). His versatility speaks well of him in the reports on his football growth.
In Madrid they do not move tab now due to the delicate economic situation derived from the pandemic, but this past summer it raised more than 100 million euros in sales and he knows that if the results do not follow, he will have no choice but to renew and reinforce the staff.
Szoboszlai is a player who starts with the advantage of its quality-youth-price ratio, which guarantees its amortization in a short time.
In Madrid he would have a good poster upon arrival, since another Hungarian, Ferenc Puskas, is one of the great legends of the club (Cañoncito Pum, as he was nicknamed, played 262 white matches between 1958 and 1966 scoring no less than 242 goals). There was another Hungarian project that didn't work: Szalai. He played 79 games for Castilla and scored 24 goals between 2007 and 2010. But Dominik Szoboszlai is not a promise, he is already a blessed reality.
