Szoboszlai Signs Long-Term Deal with Liverpool

Liverpool have moved to lock down one of their modern centrepieces, confirming that Dominik Szoboszlai has signed a new long-term contract that is expected to run until the end of the 2030/31 season.

The Reds’ No 8, already a crowd favourite at Anfield, has agreed a deal reported to be for five years, a statement of faith from both club and player at a time when Liverpool are reshaping the next phase of their project.

For Szoboszlai, this was no routine signature.

“It’s maybe my biggest day,” the 25-year-old said, placing the moment just behind his original move to Liverpool and the birth of his child. In pure football terms, he called it “top three”.

He spoke with the energy of a player who still feels he is only getting started.

“Very happy. [I] can’t wait to go again and again and again. I’m just happy to be here, as I said many times.”

From Leipzig arrival to Liverpool linchpin

Szoboszlai arrived from RB Leipzig three years ago as a highly rated attacking midfielder. He has since grown into something far more important: a reference point in Liverpool’s midfield, a player the team increasingly leans on in difficult moments.

That reliance only deepened during a turbulent 2025/26 season. While Liverpool as a whole fell short of expectations, the Hungarian’s form cut through the disappointment. He delivered 13 goals and 12 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions, numbers that carried weight not just on paper but in the rhythm of their campaign.

By the end of it, there was no real debate inside the club. Szoboszlai was named Liverpool’s Men’s Player of the Year, a personal accolade in a year that tested the squad’s resilience and depth.

A cornerstone for the next era

This new contract does more than reward past performance. It underlines Liverpool’s intention to build their next version of the side around a midfielder who brings goals, creativity and a relentless work rate, all wrapped in a mentality that fits the demands of Anfield.

Szoboszlai has already anchored himself in the club’s recent story. Now he has the time, and the platform, to shape what comes next.
