Marsch Discusses Eventual Move for Szoboszlai


Red Bull Salzburg Jesse Marsch didn't hold back when discussing winger Dominik Szoboszlai's potential move in January, talking more specifically about where he might go rather than if. The young Hungarian has been a target of many bigger teams and Europe and it appears like his time has come.

"Dominik Szoboszlai has many admirers," said Marsch on Grant Wahl's Futbol podcast. "He is an incredible talent. Let's see what happens, but I would be surprised if he stays beyond the winter market."

Among the teams interested in the youngster's services are AC Milan, Arsenal and RB Leipzig. Who has the inside track on landing the player remains to be seen. The Italian giants appeared to be in front for quite some time but that has recently changed with Leipzig showing great interest. This may end up driving up the price for Szoboszlai which currently stands at 25 million Euros.

Why is he so sought after?

All you need to do is watch his highlights in Salzburg to know the answer. Through 52 games, Szoboszlai has scored 13 goals with four coming in the UEFA Champions League. He was in important part of Salzburg's comeback win in the Austrian Bundesliga after the restart and continues to be a dominant presence despite his young age.

Szoboszlai won't leave for just the money. His agent Esterhazy has indicated that the team will need to be one that is a fitting project. Preferably a place where the player will have the best chance to showcase his skills and lift silverware in the coming years.

"I don't know if he will leave in January or the summer," said Esterhazy to DIGI Sport. "The most important thing is that we find a club where he has a good chance of playing and continuing his growth. It's no secret that it's approaching time to leave the Austrian League."

Injury Update: Marcucci and Vanzeir Shine; Morgan Still Recovering

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday. While there are positives from players coming back from injury, one player who still appears to be looking for fitness is Lewis Morgan. The 2022 top scorer for the Red Bulls, saw himself on the sidelines for most of 2023. Now, in preseason, he finds himself still working towards fitness according to head coach Sandro Schwarz. "We don't make risks for him," said Schwarz when asked if Lewis would feature in the team's last preseason game. "He's only in team training since two days. Tomorrow we have recovery training and on Friday one team session on the field. He will be t...

EDITORIAL - As the Curtain Rises, Will Promises made finally be Kept?

photo by Matt Kremkau by Garry Redman As I began my eighth season as a soccer correspondent with the Red Bull News Network, I promised my editor and readers that I would be more of a hawk and less of a dove. I'm giving the team more of a critical eye this season and the seasons to come. I made that promise for many reasons, but chief among them were the promises made by this franchise, which were kept from its fanbase. 28 seasons of promises. 28 seasons of them left unfulfilled.  At first glance, it looked like the New York Red Bulls were finally making the moves that would put them firmly in the category of an elite side worthy of being called a "contender." But before you go out and celebrate, please be aware that the supporters have heard this before: In 2019... In 2020... And in 2023... So you can see why the fans responded to those announcements with a collected and dismissive shrug. The response from the fanbase was more of a "Yeah? Really? Show us.". If y...
