Liverpool appear to be laying the groundwork for a fresh long-term deal for Dominik Szoboszlai, with reports suggesting that early conversations have already begun regarding an improved contract for the Hungarian star.
Although the immediate priority for the club’s hierarchy remains the situations of Ibrahima Konaté and Andy Robertson — both of whom are approaching the final months of their current deals — attention is also turning to other key figures in Arne Slot’s squad.
Recent whispers from journalists such as Lewis Steele indicate that negotiations are quietly underway for several midfielders, including Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister. The Athletic’s Gregg Evans likewise mentioned that preliminary discussions have already taken place regarding Liverpool’s No. 8.
Talks Underway for an Improved Szoboszlai Deal
According to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, Szoboszlai’s influence under Slot has prompted Liverpool to begin shaping a new contract offer designed to reflect his value. O’Rourke highlighted the midfielder’s incredible flexibility this season, having featured in multiple positions across the pitch — from right-back to defensive midfield to his preferred advanced role.
He noted that Liverpool have no intention of risking his departure, especially with reported interest from Europe’s elite clubs. Early steps have therefore been taken to ensure the 25-year-old remains a cornerstone of the project moving forward.
Importantly, those close to the player insist that Szoboszlai is content on Merseyside and satisfied with his responsibilities within the squad — a positive sign for all parties as discussions progress.
A Straightforward Decision for Liverpool
Despite still having over two years left on his current contract, Liverpool’s willingness to open talks this early shows how highly they rate Szoboszlai. Interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City underlines the level of performances he has produced since joining the Reds.
Even during Liverpool’s difficult run earlier this season, the midfielder has been ever-present, playing more minutes than almost anyone else in the squad — clear evidence of Slot’s trust in him.
While he has filled in across several positions when required, Szoboszlai has shone brightest in the attacking midfield role, often keeping big-name teammates out of the starting XI thanks to his performances.
Liverpool’s move to secure his long-term future now is a statement of intent, and if talks continue smoothly — as expected — a new deal for the Hungarian could be wrapped up without much resistance.
