Dominik Szoboszlai has confirmed that Liverpool are in talks with him over a potential new contract, though the Hungarian midfielder insists no agreement has been reached yet.
The Reds’ No.8 is currently partway through the five-year deal he signed when he joined from RB Leipzig in July 2023 — a contract that reportedly already places him among the club’s top earners, underlining his value to the squad.
Reliable presence despite minor setbacks 💪⚽
Although he endured a rare error that resulted in a goal against Barnsley and missed a penalty in the recent 1–1 draw with Burnley, Szoboszlai has still been one of Liverpool’s most consistent performers this season. In what has been a challenging campaign for the defending Premier League champions, the 25-year-old has stood out as a dependable figure in midfield.
“Talks are ongoing, nothing decided” 🗣️
Speculation had suggested Szoboszlai may already have reached a verbal agreement over an extension, but he downplayed those claims, confirming only that discussions are taking place.
He explained that contract talks are a routine part of football and often become exaggerated publicly. While there has been progress, he stressed that no final decision has been made.
Szoboszlai also emphasised that his priority remains on delivering strong performances in training and matches, while repaying the support of the fans. Although he said he is happy at Liverpool, he acknowledged that football is unpredictable and any decision must work for both player and club.
Liverpool eager to lock in his best years 🔒🔥
From the club’s point of view, opening negotiations now is logical. By the time his current deal nears its end, Szoboszlai will be entering his prime, and a long-term extension would secure a key player for the future.
With improved terms reflecting his growing influence, the Hungarian international could remain at Anfield well into his 30s — an outcome that would delight supporters.
Other contract challenges ahead ⏳
However, Liverpool also face several pressing contract situations, with a number of senior and emerging players nearing crucial points in their deals over the next two seasons.
Still, as long as the club’s ambitions align with his own, there is increasing belief that Szoboszlai will opt to commit his long-term future to the Reds. His heavy involvement this season — ranking among Arne Slot’s most-used players — highlights just how important he has become.
Decision likely in the coming months 👇
Liverpool will be hoping to avoid prolonged negotiations this time around, following complications in previous high-profile renewals.
For now, discussions continue — and attention remains fixed on whether Anfield will soon see another key figure tie down his future 🔴✨
