The midfielder's Leipzig deal carries a £60m buyout clause and Salzburg will be due a hefty 20 per cent of any fee Szoboszlai is sold for.

He recently said of Reds manager Jurgen Klopp: "It would certainly be a special experience to work under Klopp. As it would be under Pep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho.

“I don't know what they would be able to get out of me. Relatively few footballers are given all this (opportunity), however. Only the best. I believe I can reach that level, and it would be great to work with any of them one day."
