Dominik Szoboszlai has signed a new Liverpool contract keeping him at Anfield until 2031, a major boost for the club and head coach Andoni Iraola. The 25-year-old Hungary captain, who was Liverpool’s best performer last season under Arne Slot, had two years left on his previous deal and expressed frustration over extension delays. After months of negotiations with sporting director Richard Hughes, Szoboszlai finally put pen to paper, calling it one of the biggest days of his career.
Why Szoboszlai’s New Contract Matters
Szoboszlai joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig for £60 million in 2023 and scored 13 goals last season. He has become a key figure in midfield and is tipped as a future captain. His commitment ends speculation about his long-term future and solidifies Liverpool’s core. “I think I can do even better,” Szoboszlai said. “That pushed me since I was a kid – it was never enough. I want to win everything possible in this country and the Champions League.”
