Bundesliga: RB Leipzig unlikely to sell Dominik Szoboszlai

RB Leipzig are reportedly adamant that they will only consider selling Dominik Szoboszlai if his €70million release clause is met.

The club's stance has been strengthened by the departure of Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea and Manchester City's interest in Josko Gvardiol.

If Gvardiol joins City for their offered price of €90m plus bonuses, Leipzig will have no immediate need to sell Szoboszlai.

There is some confusion regarding the expiration date of Szoboszlai's release clause. Sky Germany suggests it runs until July 15, while Fabrizio Romano reports it expires on June 30.

In any case, unless a club submits a bid of €70m for the Hungarian midfielder, Leipzig will not entertain his departure during the current transfer window if Gvardiol leaves.

Despite interest from Newcastle United in Szoboszlai, the likelihood of a bid from the English club has diminished since their acquisition of Milan's Sandro Tonali for a reported €70m.

Szoboszlai, 22, played a crucial role for Leipzig last season, contributing to 23 goals (10 goals, 13 assists) in 46 games across all competitions, and was instrumental in helping the club secure the DFB Pokal title.
