The entire year of 2020 was filled with rumours for Szoboszlai, formerly of RB Salzburg. Leipzig’s interest in the player, according to his agent, Matyas Esterhazy, is not new. (According to Esterhazy himself; Here We Go podcast hosted by Fabrizio Romano on Patreon)
The whole project and the coach was decisive in making the decision for the agent and the player. Progressive talks with management of Leipzig were held shortly after a principle agreement, and then they decided to close the deal. In the end it was a relatively easy decision.
Why RB Leipzig is perfect for Szoboszlai?
Lot of factors, for them, they only wanted him to be able to adapt as soon as possible. The motivation of squad and club matches Dominik’s was one of the main deal breakers in making the decision.
Leipzig is offering an exciting project for the young players, and the young squad and coach, Julian Nagelsmann were the important factors in making the deal.
For a young player, the coach is the most important variable in their career going forward. The way Nagelsmann plays and uses his midfielders is very good for Dominik and there is a great learning as well as a clear cut strategy and security at the club.
The settlement process is much easier at Leipzig and is very important for a top young talent so it is clear why he chose Germany.
