đ´ Liverpool Win the Battle as Star Midfielder Chooses Anfield Over Europeâs Giants

Despite growing attention from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, sources close to the situation suggest that Dominik Szoboszlai has agreed a new contract with Liverpool in principle, signalling his intention to remain at Anfield.
đ¨ Interest from Europe⌠But Liverpool Act Fast
The Hungarian midfielder is currently tied to Liverpool until 2028, meaning there was no immediate pressure to rush contract talks. However, with elite clubs circling, the Reds moved decisively to protect one of their most valuable assets.
While itâs unclear whether Real Madrid or Bayern Munich had formal offers ready, there was genuine admiration from both sides. Liverpool, however, were never keen on risking a repeat of past situations where top talents were allowed to leave.
â Szoboszlaiâs Rise at Anfield
Since his early days at Red Bull Salzburg and later RB Leipzig, Szoboszlai has been widely tipped as a special talent. That reputation has only grown since his arrival on Merseyside.
Now 25, the midfielder has become a central figure under Arne Slot, playing a huge role in Liverpoolâs title-winning campaign last season. His numbers speak volumes:
â˝ 8 goals last season
đŻ 5 goals and 4 assists already this term
đ One of Liverpoolâs top-rated players this season according to performance data
His all-round contribution â creativity, energy, and leadership â has made him indispensable in Liverpoolâs midfield.
đ Why Keeping Him Matters
Itâs easy to understand why Europeâs elite were keeping tabs on Szoboszlai. Letting him go at this stage would have been a massive gamble, especially as Liverpool look to build long-term stability rather than cashing in on star players.
Fans will be hoping this marks a clear shift in strategy â keeping hold of key performers rather than replacing them after peak seasons.
đ Whatâs Next for Liverpool?
With Szoboszlaiâs future seemingly settled, attention may now turn to other important contract situations at the club. One name to watch closely is Ibrahima KonatĂŠ, whose current deal is approaching its final phase.
For now, Liverpool supporters can breathe a little easier â one of the clubâs most influential players looks set to remain right where he belongs â¤ď¸đ´
