Fabrizio Romano has sparked speculation on social media about a possible new contract for one Liverpool star.<\/p>\n
According to The Athletic\u2019s Gregg Evans, \u201cearly talks are taking place\u201d between Dominik Szoboszlai and Liverpool officials over a potential extension, though club insiders have played down any suggestion that a deal is close. The Hungarian midfielder is currently under contract until June 2028 and earns around \u00a3120,000 per week (via Capology).<\/p>\n
Shortly after the report was published, a Liverpool fan account on X summarized the story and credited Evans. Romano then replied with just two emojis \u2014 a wink and a film frame \u2014 prompting excitement among supporters.<\/p>\n
While his message was vague, the positive tone of the emojis suggests that Romano may be hinting there\u2019s genuine progress behind the scenes. With The Athletic and the trusted transfer insider seemingly aligned, it looks increasingly likely that discussions over a new deal for Szoboszlai are underway.<\/p>\n
Although Liverpool have more immediate contract priorities \u2014 with Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 and Andy Robertson both nearing the final months of their current deals \u2014 it\u2019s an encouraging sign that FSG want to secure the long-term future of the 25-year-old midfielder.<\/p>\n
Szoboszlai\u2019s standout display against Real Madrid, including the free kick that led to Alexis Mac Allister\u2019s winning goal, drew glowing praise from Virgil van Dijk after Tuesday\u2019s victory. Having endured lengthy contract sagas with key players last season, new sporting director Richard Hughes appears keen to avoid a repeat \u2014 hence the early move to begin talks with the Hungarian well ahead of 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
