      The Hungary international looks set to become the second arrival at Anfield this summer following the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.

      Newcastle were also interested in Szoboszlai but have reportedly withdrawn from the race.

      The two clubs have also discussed a transfer for Szoboszlai, who has a release clause worth £60million.
      It is unclear whether that clause has expired and whether Liverpool and Leipzig have agreed a fee.

      Mount, 24, will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford with the option of a further 12 months, worth in the region of £250,000 a week.
      It brings to a conclusion the former academy player’s 16-year association with the club he joined as an eight-year-old.
      Personal terms are a formality and Mount was last night arranging a medical to rubber-stamp the deal, which is the first of the summer for United boss Erik ten Hag.
      Talks between Chelsea and the Red Devils have dragged on for weeks.

      United had THREE bids rejected for a player who has only a year left on his Blues contract.
      Chelsea were holding out for “north of £60m” while United would only offer £55m — and threatened to walk away.
      But a meeting yesterday led to a breakthrough with both sides compromising.
      Chelsea poster boy Mount is the latest star to leave Stamford Bridge as part of a mass sell-off.

      Defender Kalidou Koulibaly, keeper Edouard Mendy, midfielder Mateo Kovacic, forward Kai Havertz plus on-loan pair Joao Felix and Denis Zakaria have all departed since the season ended.
      Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is in the process of finalising a move to AC MIlan while N’Golo Kante has joined Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad as a free agent.
      However, Hakim Ziyech’s switch to Al-Nassr is thought to have hit a snag.
      Chelsea will also listen to offers for club captain Cesar Azpilicueta and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.
      The sale of Mount will be hard to take for Blues fans, who regard him as the jewel in the crown of their renowned crop of homegrown talent.
      Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly failed to agree a new deal with Mount last year and talks collapsed when he rejected a one-year extension in February.
      Meanwhile, Ten Hag has blocked United’s back-up keeper Tom Heaton, 37, from joining Luton as doubts continue over David de Gea’s future. More

      De Gea’s contract is set to expire on Friday and he is yet to agree a new contract with the Red Devils.
      The Spanish keeper had reportedly signed a contract extension before the club backed out due to Ten Hag’s concerns over De Gea.
      He now looks set to leave the club after 12 years, having posted a cryptic tweet on Wednesday as his contract runs down.
      Ten Hag has even dropped a hint De Gea is leaving after reportedly stopping Heaton from joining Luton Town this summer.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      The Telegraph report the United boss is reluctant to allow the veteran keeper to leave despite his desire to depart.
      A move to Luton would have seen the 37-year-old become the newly promoted side’s first-choice between the sticks.
      However, Ten Hag is unwilling to lose the former England international as his goalkeeping conundrum continues.
      Heaton returned to United in 2021 but has since made just three competitive appearances, largely acting as a back-up to De Gea.
