Liverpool are closing in on securing Dominik Szoboszlai’s future with a new long-term contract after reaching an agreement in principle with the Hungary captain.
Although the deal hasn’t been formally signed yet, the two sides have agreed on the framework of fresh terms, marking a significant breakthrough in negotiations.
REUTERS/Phil NobleThis development follows weeks of discussions between Liverpool and Szoboszlai’s representatives. Both sides are committed to extending their successful relationship since Szoboszlai joined Anfield.
At 25, Szoboszlai has become one of Liverpool’s most influential players and is considered a key figure in the club’s future under Andoni Iraola.
Liverpool’s move to secure a key player
Over the past two seasons, Szoboszlai has established himself as a first-choice player due to his energy, versatility and leadership.
Operating in multiple midfield roles, the Hungary international has become an integral part of Liverpool’s engine room and one of the squad’s most consistent performers.
His importance has grown even more since Iraola’s appointment, with the new head coach expected to build much of his midfield around the former RB Leipzig star.
The agreement in principle reflects Liverpool’s desire to secure one of their most valuable assets before his current contract becomes more uncertain.
Reward for growing influence
This breakthrough also comes after Szoboszlai publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool in recent weeks.
The midfielder has consistently expressed his desire to compete for major honours at Anfield and recently expressed confidence that the club can challenge under Iraola.
He also shared the mentality that drives his career, admitting that criticism only motivates him further.
Liverpool has clearly recognised both his on-field performances and his growing influence within the dressing room.
Following senior figures’ departures, Szoboszlai has become a key leader among the club’s younger generation.

While terms have been agreed upon, the deal hasn’t been signed yet. The remaining paperwork is expected to be finalised before Liverpool makes an official announcement.
However barring any unforeseen issues, this agreement marks another significant achievement for the Reds.
Securing Szoboszlai’s long-term future has been a top priority for the club and reaching an agreement in principle brings them closer to this goal.
For supporters, it’s another positive sign that one of the team’s most important players is committed to giving his best years to the club.
