According to the father of Roland Sallai, Szoboszlai’s teammate, Liverpool have already been in contact to sign the Galatasaray winger.

“Liverpool could be that destination and I admit, I wouldn’t be surprised if this club change happened now, in winter,” Tibor Sallai told Blikk.
“I know that he has already been contacted through a management office. I don’t want to shout anything, but my son will really have a good opportunity in the summer, if there is an offer that is also beneficial for Galatasaray, to change country and level. It wouldn’t be any time if Liverpool took to the Anfield Road grass with three Hungarians in the starting eleven.”
Sallai’s father refers to the fact that Liverpool already have Milos Kerkez and Szoboszlai playing for them.
Here’s why this could be a really good move for Liverpool. While Sallai has a little more experience, he is an extremely versatile player.

Predominantly it is extreme. He has been playing in that position since he began his senior football career.
But this season Sallai has also become Galatasaray’s right back. He has played very well in that position, impressing against Juventus and Manchester City in the Champions League, while facing some really tough wingers.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that he is on Liverpool’s radar. Sallai is the type of player Liverpool’s recruitment team has loved in recent years.
He can solve a problem at right back, he can provide depth on the wings and he even played in the middle for the Hungarian national team so could also be used as a false nine.
