Newcastle had also been interested in the 22-year-old midfielder, but once Szoboszlai made clear his desire to move to Anfield, it removed all other interested parties from the equation.
There was a breakthrough in negotiations on Friday as Liverpool agreed to trigger his sixty million pounds release clause.
Szoboszlai underwent a medical on Merseyside on Saturday and Sunday and, subject to a work permit, he will become Liverpool’s second signing of the summer after the arrival of Alexis Allister from Brighton for an initial thirty five million pounds.
