Liverpool have secured the long-term future of one of their standout performers, with Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai signing a new five-year contract that runs until 2031.
The 25-year-old, who had two years left on his previous deal, put pen to paper on a deal that reflects his growing importance at Anfield.
Szoboszlai joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig for £60 million in the summer of 2023. Since then, he has evolved into an integral and increasingly influential player under Arne Slot and beyond.
The dynamic midfielder was a key member of Liverpool’s 2024/25 Premier League title-winning side and was named the club’s Player of the Year for the 2025/26 season, earning widespread acclaim for his consistency and versatility.
In quotes shared with Liverpoolfc.com, Szoboszlai described the moment as one of the biggest days in his career: “It’s maybe my biggest day. There are a couple in front of it – probably when I signed for Liverpool, the first one, and when I got my baby, of course. But in my football career, I can say this is in the top three.”
He expressed immense happiness at staying at the club, emphasizing his drive for continuous improvement and ambition to win everything possible, including the Premier League and Champions League. “I want to set the example… I want to win everything that is possible in this country,” he added.
Szoboszlai’s club career highlights his rapid rise. Starting at Red Bull Salzburg (where he won multiple Austrian titles and cups), he moved to RB Leipzig, contributing significantly in the Bundesliga and Champions League before his big move to England.
At Liverpool (2023–present), across all competitions (approx. 147 appearances, 28 goals, 24 assists):
2023/24: 40 appearances, 3 goals, 5 assists (Premier League: 33 apps, 2G, 3A).
2024/25: 49 appearances, 8 goals, 8 assists (Premier League: 36 apps, 6G, 6A) – Premier League champion.
2025/26: 52+ appearances, 13 goals, 12 assists (Premier League: 36 apps, 7G, 6-7A; strong Champions League contributions).
Overall Premier League record for Liverpool: 105 appearances, 15 goals, 15 assists. He has shown remarkable versatility, often deployed in central midfield, attacking roles, and even right-back when needed, logging high minutes (frequently among the team’s leaders). Known for powerful long-range shots, free-kick expertise (multiple direct free-kick goals), vision, and work rate, his xG and chance creation stats underscore his attacking threat from midfield.
Internationally, Szoboszlai is Hungary’s star, with over 60 caps and consistent goal contributions, including in qualifiers and Euros.
The new contract rewards his adaptability, leadership, and hunger. At just 25, Szoboszlai remains driven: “There’s always more to come… I think I can do even better.” Liverpool fans can look forward to many more years of his energy, creativity, and big moments at Anfield. This deal strengthens the squad’s core as they chase further domestic and European glory”.
