Fabrizio Romano Confirms Liverpool in Advanced Talks Over Dominik Szoboszlai Contract
Liverpool are pushing ahead with plans to secure their future, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming that the club are in advanced talks to extend Dominik Szoboszlai’s contract.
The Hungarian midfielder, who arrived at Anfield in 2023, has quickly become a key player for Jurgen Klopp and a cornerstone in Liverpool’s long-term rebuild under new sporting director Richard Hughes.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said:
“Liverpool are working on new contracts for Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai. Talks with Szoboszlai are progressing, though not yet at the final stage. Liverpool are prepared to improve his salary after fantastic performances this season.”
Szoboszlai’s current deal runs until 2028, but Liverpool want to strengthen their commitment by offering improved terms. The move reflects the club’s confidence in the 23-year-old as both a leader and a future captain figure in the dressing room.
A Central Figure in Liverpool’s Rebuild
Under Richard Hughes, Liverpool have begun reshaping their squad, balancing experience with youth after a busy 2024 summer transfer window. While veterans such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk face uncertain long-term futures, the Reds see players like Szoboszlai and Gravenberch as part of the next generation to carry the club forward.
The Hungarian’s work rate, leadership, and technical quality have impressed fans and pundits alike, making him one of the most influential signings of the post-rebuild era. Securing his future is seen as a priority in ensuring stability during the club’s ongoing transition.
Liverpool’s Long-Term Vision
Hughes’ long-term plan mirrors the club’s philosophy under Michael Edwards — to stay competitive even as key figures depart. Liverpool are also exploring options in defense and attack, including a potential move for a left-winger and a centre-back, after missing out on Marc Guehi earlier this year.
For now, the focus remains on keeping core players committed. While Romano made clear that a full agreement with Szoboszlai is not yet complete, both sides are positive about reaching a deal soon.
If successful, the new contract will reinforce Szoboszlai’s role as one of the faces of Liverpool’s future — and a statement of intent from a club determined to remain at the top of English football.
