Dominik Szoboszlai is set to hand new Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola a significant lift by agreeing a new long-term contract at Anfield. The Hungarian midfielder, 25, has been the team's outstanding performer during a difficult final season under Arne Slot and his future had been the subject of concern after he admitted talks had stalled.
Breakthrough in Talks
After months of negotiations between Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and the player's representatives, terms have been agreed in principle and Szoboszlai is close to signing a deal that will extend his stay beyond the two years remaining on his current contract. The news was first reported by The Guardian.
Key Player for the Reds
The Hungary captain has developed into a pivotal figure since his £60m move from RB Leipzig in 2023, netting 13 goals last season despite the team’s struggles. He had been tipped as a future club captain, but his own comments about the lack of contract progress had cast doubt over his long-term commitment. Securing his signature is therefore a statement of intent under Iraola’s new era.
Dominik Szoboszlai’s renewed pledge provides immediate stability and a core piece around which Iraola can build, with the Spaniard preparing for his first campaign at the helm.
