Neville puts laughable £60m price tag on Szoboszlai

There’s been plenty of talk about how Arne Slot might reshape this Liverpool squad in the summer, but one comment from Gary Neville has caught the eye when it comes to Dominik Szoboszlai.

Speaking on Stick to Football via The Overlap, Neville was discussing potential sales to fund a rebuild when the Hungarian midfielder’s name was brought into the conversation.

Neville’s Szoboszlai valuation questioned

When Ian Wright suggested Szoboszlai as a possible sale, Neville responded: “to get what £60/70 million and who would you bring in for that?”

That figure feels surprisingly low given the influence our No.8 has had, particularly when you consider his age, physical profile and importance within the current system.

Transfermarkt values the Hungarian at around €100m, and when you factor in Premier League inflation and contract length, it’s difficult to argue that £60-70m would truly reflect his market value in today’s game.

Liverpool rebuild and Slot’s stance

The bigger picture, though, is that Neville’s point ties into a reality Slot himself has already acknowledged, because our head coach admitted after the PSG defeat that “we have to sell to buy,” highlighting that changes are expected this summer.
