Exclusive: Liverpool standout dismisses Real Madrid and Bayern interest, set for new deal
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is believed to have reached a provisional agreement on a new contract at Anfield.
Sources indicate that both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich had shown genuine interest in the Hungary international, but he is now set to pledge his long-term future to Liverpool.
Although Szoboszlai’s existing deal runs until 2028—meaning there was no immediate pressure to renegotiate—the club were eager to ward off attention from Europe’s elite. While it remains unclear whether he was a top priority for either Real Madrid or Bayern, there was definite interest, and Liverpool were determined to retain him.
Szoboszlai’s growing importance at Liverpool
Highly regarded since his early days with Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig, Szoboszlai has continued to develop impressively since arriving at Anfield. The 25-year-old played a crucial role in Arne Slot’s title-winning side last season, contributing eight goals, and he has already registered five goals and four assists across all competitions this campaign.
According to FotMob, Szoboszlai currently ranks as Liverpool’s second-highest-rated player this season, with an average score of 7.32.
Liverpool have previously sold major stars such as Luis Suárez and Philippe Coutinho, but supporters will be hoping that era is firmly in the past as the club looks to build a consistently competitive squad. With Szoboszlai seemingly secured, attention may now turn to other key players, including Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract is set to expire this summer.
