Dominik Szoboszlai has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new five-year contract, putting an end to speculation surrounding his next move. The midfielder, who had two years remaining on his previous deal, earned this improved contract through his standout performances last season.
Itโs maybe my biggest day. There are a couple in front of it -โ 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.
Negotiations, which had reportedly stalled, accelerated in recent weeks, culminating in Szoboszlai putting pen to paper. The 25-year-old described the moment as one of the biggest in his career, ranking it alongside his Liverpool signing and the birth of his child. "I canโt wait to go again and again and again. Thereโs always more to come," Szoboszlai stated, expressing his belief that he can achieve even greater success.
I canโt wait to go again and again and again. Thereโs always more to come. I think I can do even better. I think thatโs why Iโm sitting here, because that pushed me since I was a kid: that it was never enough. And Iโm thinking the same now.
Szoboszlai's ambition remains undimmed: "When I signed, I said I want to win everything. That didnโt change for a moment either." He is focused on securing all domestic titles and the Champions League. His decision is a significant boost for new manager Andoni Iraola, who takes over from Arne Slot. Szoboszlai has been a key player since joining from Leipzig in 2023, becoming the first Liverpool midfielder since Steven Gerrard to achieve double-digit goals and assists in a season. He has already won the Premier League and League Cup and was voted player of the year by the club's fans.
When I signed, I said I want to win everything. That didnโt change for a moment either. It stayed the same: I want to win everything that is possible in this country, also letโs say the Champions League.
