Sky Germany release Szoboszlai update - Good news for Newcastle, bad news for RB Leipzig?

As reported by Sky Sports in Germany, Toon target Dominik Szoboszlai is ‘very open’ to a move away from RB Leipzig and is aware of 'concrete interest' from Newcastle United.

The German club are believed to be frustrated and ‘not happy’ with his latest statements discussing a possible transfer, with the player admitting he would 'consider' a summer move away if the right offer arrives.

Interestingly, Sky Germany claim he's our top target, suggesting the 22-year-old Hungarian may have leapfrogged James Maddison in our search for a new attacking midfielder?

Szoboszlai’s release clause is €70m (£60m) but the Magpies may be hoping to negotiate that price down if both the club and player are keen on a transfer. 

Given our recent history with top targets - Sven Botman and Alexander Isak for example - the club’s hierarchy will no doubt do all that they can to get the Hungarian playing in black and white next season.
