Szoboszlai: Haaland and Gulacsi helped me with Liverpool move

New Liverpool signing Dominik Szoboszlai admits he's spoken to former RB Leipzig teammate Erling Haaland about life in England.

Haaland left Leipzig last summer for Manchester City, helping them to win the Treble last season.

"We've talked," Szoboszlai told Nemzeti Sport. "So much so that Erling Haaland has also advised on finding real estate, and it could very well be that we become neighbours.

"I learned from him that several players live halfway between Manchester and Liverpool in a quiet area where privacy can be preserved, and on Monday I will see what he was talking about, I am very curious.

"And of course, putting our friendship aside during the Liverpool-Manchester City matches, it will surely be a fantastic experience to play against each other."

Szoboszlai also spoke with RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, who is a former Liverpool player.

"I've spoken to him before and he knows what our relationship is like. He was there in Leipzig when I got there, I became a player for the club and I could count on his support from the very first moment.

"He was a very good team-mate of mine and I hope he got over his injury and there will be another Champions League match between Liverpool and RB Leipzig where he can try to save my free-kick!

"I'll do some training on Monday, I have some paperwork to do, and then look at some potential properties where I'd like to live. Then I have to go to Leipzig, pack up my stuff, say goodbye to my former club, thank everyone for their support, love and encouragement and then to Budapest. But on the 10th at the latest I will be back in Liverpool, because on the 11th I will be training for my new team."
