Dominik Szoboszlai Signs Long-Term Deal with Liverpool
Dominik Szoboszlai has tied his future to Liverpool, signing a new long-term contract that underlines his status as one of the pillars of the club’s next era.
The Hungary international, who wears the storied No 8 shirt at Anfield, has agreed a deal reported to run for five years, keeping him on Merseyside until the end of the 2030/31 season. For a club in transition, this is a statement. For the player, it feels like a landmark.
“It’s maybe my biggest day,” the 25-year-old said, placing the moment alongside the day he first signed for Liverpool and the birth of his child. In footballing terms, he called it “in the top three”. That hierarchy says plenty about how deeply he has rooted himself into life at Anfield.
He spoke with the same relentless energy that defines his game: “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.”
Szoboszlai arrived from RB Leipzig three years ago with a reputation for long-range thunderbolts and creative flair. He now brings far more than highlight-reel moments. He has become a reference point in Liverpool’s midfield, a player the team leans on when the rhythm of a match starts to fray.
That influence only grew during a bruising 2025/26 campaign for the club. While Liverpool fell short of their wider ambitions, Szoboszlai’s level did not dip. He produced 13 goals and 12 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions, numbers that reflect both productivity and durability in a demanding season.
The recognition followed. At the end of the campaign, he was named Liverpool’s Men’s Player of the Year, a personal accolade that often goes to forwards but this time landed firmly in midfield.
For Liverpool, securing his signature for the long term is not just about protecting an asset. It locks in a player around whom they can build and rebuild, a driving force who has already shown he can carry responsibility when the season turns heavy.
For Szoboszlai, it is a clear declaration: his prime years will play out under the Anfield lights.
