What did Fabrizio Romano say about Dominik Szoboszlai’s new contract?
The famous transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano tweeted in his official handle regarding the new contract provided to the Hungarian international. He tweeted:
RB Leipzig have reached an agreement with Dominik Szoboszlai to extend his contract until 2026, one more season - here we go! Both parties think long term together. Szoboszlai wanted to confirm his confidence in the project after the injury, the club decided to reward him.
The 20-year-old suffered a horrific injury in January which potentially ruled the player from the football action for months. The player has not featured since then and it affected RB Leipzig’s title race. Julian Nagelsmann was doubtful about the player’s return and had said:
With Dominik, it's really quite difficult. I can't exactly say when he'll return. Accordingly, I can't say what sort of role he can still play
Dominik Szoboszlai will have a crucial role play for RB Leipzig in the coming season with multiple stars including Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano leaving the club. Also, in absence of Julian Nagelsmann, it remains interesting to see how the club will fight for the title under Jesse Marsch.
