Dominik Szoboszlai has found himself at the centre of fresh Real Madrid speculation after a flurry of comments from his national team coach and a revealing interview from Vinícius Jr, even as Liverpool work behind the scenes to secure his long‑term future at Anfield.
For Liverpool supporters already on edge about links to Madrid, it’s what Vinicius Junior has said in recent days that has really set alarm bells ringing.
The Brazilian winger admitted in a recent interview that he “talks a lot” with Szoboszlai and counts the Hungarian among his close football friends, name‑checking the Liverpool midfielder alongside other top stars when asked about his relationships in the game. Coming at the exact moment Real Madrid are being credited with serious interest, those words have inevitably been read as adding fuel to the fire rather than an innocent aside.
Now the representatives of the 25-year-old has come out to address the rumours.
Szoboszlai’s agent Matyas Esterhazy, speaking to Hungarian outlet NB1 (as translated by Bence Bocsack ), has asserted that it’s not a topic for him or the Reds No.8:
“It’s completely normal for the public, when Dominik is performing like this, to talk about what’s next and if there’s something higher,” Esterhazy said.
“For us it’s not a topic. We are mid-season; he has a lot of work ahead of him in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League. He has said many times how important this competition is for him.”
“So at the moment to talk about what will happen in the summer in my opinion is not correct. Not to mention, Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and Dominik is in a position within the team that has a lot of reserve, so we are not looking outside or elsewhere.”
