Dominik Szoboszlai's agent has played down talk of interest in a move to Real Madrid this summer and declared the player is not looking for a transfer.
The future of Szoboszlai has been the subject of speculation over the last few days after his Hungary national team boss Marco Rossi commented to Madrid-based sports news outlet Marca it was the "dream" of the midfielder to play for Real Madrid.
It came as Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jnr announced during a YouTube documentary that he speaks regularly with Szoboszlai having befriended the 25-year-old earlier in his career.

While the Liverpool midfielder still has more than two years to run on his present contract, the Reds are keen to reward him for his progress having emerged as their stellar performer this season after helping them win the Premier League title last term.
Szoboszlai recently revealed talks remain ongoing and has expressed his desire to extend his Anfield commitment.
And now his agent Matyas Esterhazy has sought to clarify the situation by stating the Hungary captain is "not looking elsewhere".
“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," he said, speaking to Hungary news outlet NB1.

"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.”
