Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has reached an agreement in principle over a new contract at Anfield, turning down concrete interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to commit his future to the Merseyside club.
Dominik Szoboszlai Agrees New Liverpool Contract After Rejecting Real Madrid Interest
The Hungary international is expected to extend his stay at Liverpool despite approaches from the European giants, with the club moving to secure his services amid growing interest from across the continent. Szoboszlai’s current contract runs until 2028, but Liverpool were keen to ward off potential suitors and reward the midfielder’s impressive performances under Arne Slot.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich had shown concrete interest in signing the 25-year-old, though it remains unclear whether he represented a top target for either club. Liverpool were always determined to retain Szoboszlai’s services, recognising his importance to their squad and his potential for further development at Anfield.
Szoboszlai has established himself as a key player in Slot’s title-winning side, contributing eight goals during Liverpool’s successful campaign last season. The former RB Leipzig midfielder has continued his strong form this term, registering five goals and four assists across all competitions while maintaining consistently high performance levels.
According to statistical analysis, Szoboszlai ranks as Liverpool’s second-best player this season with a rating of 7.32, underlining his value to the team’s tactical setup. His progression since joining from Leipzig has validated Liverpool’s investment, with the midfielder developing into one of their most reliable performers in the engine room.
The contract extension represents Liverpool’s commitment to retaining their key assets rather than cashing in on star players, as they did previously with Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho. The club will hope to make similar progress with other important squad members, including Ibrahima Konate, whose current deal expires this summer.
