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."

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
