Dominik Szoboszlai is poised to give Liverpool and their head coach, Andoni Iraola, a significant boost by signing a new long-term contract.
- Terms agreed in principle after months of talks between Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and Dominik Szoboszlai's representatives.
- Dominik Szoboszlai scored 13 goals last season, joined Liverpool for £60m from Leipzig in 2023 and is tipped as future captain.
- Szoboszlai's renewed commitment is an important development for Andoni Iraola ahead of his first season at Liverpool.
The Liverpool midfielder, the team’s best performer during a difficult final season under Arne Slot, has two years on his deal and mentioned several times last season that there had been no real progress over an extension.
After months of negotiations between Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, and Szoboszlai’s representatives, the terms of a new contract have been agreed in principle and the 25-year-old is close to signing the deal.
The Hungary captain has developed into a key figure for Liverpool since his £60m move from Leipzig in 2023 and scored 13 goals last season. He has been tipped as a future Liverpool captain, although last season’s comments about the contract had raised concerns over his long-term future.
Szoboszlai’s renewed commitment will be an important development for Iraola before his first season at Liverpool.
