As they get ready to move to Merseyside, Dominik Szoboszlai’s girlfriend shared a sweet photo of their puppy on social media.
The 22-year-old Hungarian’s acquisition was revealed by the Reds on Sunday after they used the £60 million release clause that put an end to his contract with RB Leipzig. After Jurgen Klopp reached an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, he became the second signing of the summer.
Following a poor season in which they barely managed to qualify for the Europa League, the midfield has emerged as a key area for improvement at Anfield ahead of the 2023–24 Premier League season. James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita left as free agents at the end of their contracts, leaving the engine room with three departures.
As Liverpool considers a move for a third midfielder, there is still time for more additions. Mac Allister is taking advantage of his remaining vacation days before moving on to greener pastures, but Szoboszlai is already making adjustments to fit Liverpool, as evidenced by a post made by his girlfriend, Fanni Gecsek.
Gecsek shared a photo on her Instagram account of their puppy sporting a harness with the Liverpool logo, and Reds supporters have already reacted favorably to it.
Milo, the Maltipoo, appeared to be in a happy, upbeat attitude as he posed while sporting the red item with dog paws, footballs, and the letters ‘YNWA’ printed on it.
Gecsek, 21, a tennis player who hails from Hungary, used to participate in ITF competitions from 2017 to 2019. She is currently a Budapest student at the International Business School and a model and influencer.
Szoboszlai surpassed Virgil van Dijk, Allison, and Darwin Nunez to rank as the fourth-most expensive Liverpool signing of all time. After Keita left, the Hungary captain moved up to the number eight spot, following in Steven Gerrard’s footsteps.
Before moving to the Premier League, the 22-year-old said he chatted with Erling Haaland, a standout for Manchester City. He spoke to Nemzeti Sport, a Hungarian publication. “Erling Haaland has offered real estate advice as well, and it’s possible that we’ll end up living next to one other.
I learnt from him that numerous players reside in a quiet neighborhood where privacy can be maintained midway between Manchester and Liverpool. I’m extremely interested in what he was talking about, so on Monday I’ll find out.
And of course, playing against each other will be a terrific experience, friendship aside during the Liverpool-Manchester City games.
