Liverpool have this evening told RB Leipzig they will trigger the £60m release clause that will enable them to sign Dominik Szoboszlai.
In a development that is a major step towards the Hungary captain moving to Anfield, the Reds informed the German club on Friday as the terms of clause entered its final hours.
Liverpool held a productive meeting with the player's representatives earlier this week before making an official approach to the Bundesliga side on Friday.
Szoboszlai had a release clause inserted into his contract that was set at £60m, but its June 30 expiration date meant that the Reds were made to act quickly to secure the deal.
