Report: Szoboszlai Set to Join Leipzig in January


Dynamic Hungarian winger Dominik Szoboszlai has been rumored to make his transfer decision with the East German club RB Leipzig set to be the destination. The current Red Bull Salzburg winger has been much sought after by team such as AC Milan and Arsenal. However, Leipzig is now a destination following their win over Manchester United and current run in the Bundesliga that sees them contending with Bayern Munich for the title.
The move will cost Leipzig upwards of 25 million Euros according to The Guardian. It will be one of the team's largest transfers but could pay off massively in the coming years if Szoboszlai continues to evolve on the field. Currently only 20 years old, the Hungarian has proven to be a force in the Austrian Bundesliga and helped Salzburg retain their title last season. He has scored 16 goals in 54 total games and become an indispensable part of manager Jesse Marsch's team selection. 

The biggest news for Leipzig is that they were able to beat out bigger teams such as AC Milan, Arsenal and Bayern Munich to such a signing. It is a continuing trend that younger players are picking Leipzig over the usual continental giants and shows that players are comfortable with Red Bull's overall project in Germany. More than likely Szoboszlai won't remain with Leipzig long term. However, the move guarantees an even larger transfer fee, should the winger continue his upward trend in the coming years.

Leipzig have made no formal announcement of the transfer but expectations are that Szoboszlai and his team will make it official in the coming weeks. Such a transfer could be a shift in the balance of power and be what the team needs to continue their push for a first ever Bundesliga title.

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...
