Dominik Szoboszlai has admitted that he is an AC Milan fan after he was spotted wearing the shirt at full-time after Tuesday night’s Champions League meeting.
The Hungary international was on the winning side as Milan began their 2024-25 Champions League campaign with a defeat, losing 3-1 at San Siro against Liverpool to further ramp up the pressure on the head coach Paulo Fonseca.
Having been denied not long before, Szoboszlai did get the third goal that put Liverpool in command. A slack pass from Pavlovic into the midfield was seized upon to start a three-on-one break, with Gakpo squaring to the former Red Bull Salzburg man who volleyed in off the far post.
Interviewed by DAZN, Szoboszlai admitted that the reason that he wanted to wear a Milan shirt when the game was over was because he has been a fan of the club since growing up.
“Why did I wear the Milan shirt? Because I’m a Milan fan, all my friends know that. In my house in Budapest there is a photo of me with Paolo Maldini when my grandmother took me to meet him,” he said.
Szoboszlai was linked with a move from RB Salzburg to Milan every summer starting from the proposed ‘Ralf Rangnick revolution’ to even the mercato one year ago, but now he seems at home at Anfield.
Milan scouted him for three years before finally making a move. But their 20mil wasn’t enough cause Red Bull wanted 25mil lol. Thats how he never ended up in Milan. He is worth 75mil now.
It’s always the same story… they are acting cheap on player but overpay the players that should not be at Milan. Enzo Fernandez went to Benfica for 20 mil, Alavres, Haland had a relase clause of 25 mil plus agent comision… This summer they had the oportunity to get Oshimen for 60-70 mil maybe even cheaper if they included a player but I guess is ok to pay 20 mil for a mediocre player like Musah, 15 for Emerson and 25 for Fofana and so far all of them are bad.
…and we were chasing his signature and ended up having him score against us in San siro. I really wish we still had Maldini and Boban.
You are great player pav. You give great passing to your former rb Salzburg player.
