Dominick Szoboszlai says he first learned of Liverpool's interest through the media's transfer rumours reporting.
The Hungary captain left RB Leipzig for Liverpool earlier this summer.
He recalled to liverpoolfc.com: We have my agent, my father and me I never decide alone or my agent never decides alone or my dad never decides alone, it doesn't matter what's going on. We always decide as three.
My agent wrote in our WhatsApp group [about Liverpool's interest]; I was on holiday, my father was doing something else and my agent was also somewhere else. We had a group call.
My agent doesn't want to say before anything is fixed, so he doesn't come to me and say, 'It may be possible.' He only comes to me when he says it's close and he needs me now to decide. So then we had a call and everything.
But of course I saw the rumours and I wrote to him every day 'Anything happening? Anything happening?' I wanted to know. He said, 'Just don't worry, wait.'"
He also said: Everything happened in three days, the important stuff.
From everybody [there were] some rumours, about this, about that, about this team, about other teams.
I also heard a lot of rumours about where to go, it is time to go or not time to go? Then when Liverpool came, I think one of my friends sent me an Instagram [post] because they were looking for it. I wasn't really [looking before].
They sent it to me and I was like, OK, but it was only two posts. And then I always checked like every 10 hours if there was something new, and it got always more and more.
You know, if it's like a little rumour two pictures and that's it, it's over. But it was a long-term rumour and I started to be interested. I called my agent and from this day every day I called him and said, 'What is going on?'"
