The transfer of the Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai to RB Leipzig is imminent, according to the Bild. The RB Salzburg player could cost around 20 million euros, plus a supplement and a resale share. The operation could be closed even in the winter market.
The movement of the young footballer is a setback for other of the great clubs in Europe that were behind him. The Red Bull factory, owner of both teams, both Salzburg and Leipzig, has decided that it is in their best interest for Szoboszlai to continue his career in the Bundesliga and in a team that is clearly on the rise like Naggelsman's.
Considered the new Cristiano for his phenomenal kicking the ball, the Hungarian has a market value of 25 million euros according to transfermarkt. That is, the transfer would be completed for less value than it currently has. The midfielder is not only currently the most valuable Hungarian player, but also the most expensive player in the Austrian league.
Arsenal had been one of the clubs that had shown the most interest in Szoboszlai, especially after his brilliant performances for Salzburg in the Champions League this season and last. At 20, he is one of the most sought-after players in Europe and perhaps that is why Leipzig has rushed and will buy him in winter. Sports performance is assured with it; the economic one, in the eyes of the Red Bull company, too.
