Dominik Szoboszlai’s change to RB Leipzig is fixed

Last weekend, the 20-year-old confirmed that his time with the Bulls will be over after Sunday’s final game against WAC, as previously reported.

Szoboszlai’s change has long been indicated

More than a month ago, after exclusive information from SALZBURG24, it became known that his lease on the apartment in the Liefering district of Salzburg will no longer be extended. Official confirmation from the two clubs followed on Thursday.

Leipzig signs Szoboszlai until 2025

Internal change within the Red Bull empire is expected to cost € 20 million; the new working document is dated 2025. According to various media reports, Salzburg residents are said to have secured a 20 percent stake in a resale. Due to this involvement, Leipzig should also pay a basic transfer fee less than the 25 million euros owed under the exit clause. Almost four years ago, FC Videoton (Hungary) bet him for 500,000 euros at the Bullen del Salzach Academy.

“Dominik came to us as a young and very talented player who knew exactly what he wanted from the start. In his four years at FC Red Bull Salzburg he has become an absolute professional who has improved in all areas.” explains Christoph Freund, Salzburg sporting director.

So far, 18 professionals have gone directly from Salzburg to Leipzig; a total of 25 players have already been pushed from one side to the other (see gallery below).

In his usual position on the left wing, “Szobo” has outstanding competition with Emil Forsberg, Christopher Nkunku, Dani Olmo and Justin Kluivert. Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann recently praised Hungary’s number ten: “Dominik (Szoboszlai, editor’s note) is an extremely talented guy who radiates very high goal risk from midfield. He also shoots very good standards and has a good athletic combination of speed and endurance performance. And it can drive a very high pace of play over a long period of time. “

For RB Leipzig he will wear jersey number 17 and will be eligible to play from the home game against Borussia Dortmund (January 9, 2021).
