Real Madrid 'ready to rival Arsenal for Dominik Szoboszlai'

Real Madrid have reportedly joined the race for Red Bull Salzburg attacker Dominik Szoboszlai.

The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for his Austrian club during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring five times and providing nine assists in 13 appearances in all competitions.

Arsenal continue to be strongly linked with a move, in addition to RB Leipzig, although the attacker's agent recently denied that there was an agreement in place for his client to join the Bundesliga club.

According to AS, Szoboszlai's performances have caught the attention of Madrid, who are expected to spend next summer after a quiet window due to the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

The youngster sent Hungary to next summer's European Championships courtesy of his late goal against Iceland in Thursday's playoff clash.

Salzburg would not be in a strong position to negotiate with interested clubs next summer as Szoboszlai's current deal with Jesse Marsch's side is due to expire in May 2022.
