Dominik Szoboszlai has agreed to stay at Liverpool until 2031, and it ranks among the biggest news of the summer for Anfield. The Hungarian’s fresh deal gives head coach Andoni Iraola a timely boost before the season starts in August.
Dominik Szoboszlai Ends Contract Uncertainty With Long-Term Deal
As reported by The Guardian, it took a long back-and-forth between the club and the player’s camp before the paperwork was finally settled. Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, led the discussions, and the outcome saw the Reds midfielder commit his future to Anfield until 2031. It is a clear sign of how highly the club rates him.
The new terms end months of doubt. Last season, the Hungary international spoke openly about how the extension talks had stalled, with little movement either way. That uncertainty fueled plenty of speculation about interest from elsewhere. So, this update finally puts that talk to rest, at least for the next several years.
Speaking to the club’s official website, he called it one of the biggest moments of his life so far. “It’s maybe my biggest day… in my football career, I can say this is in the top three,” he said, as reported by Liverpoolfc.com. Those words say a lot about what the move means to a player who arrived at Anfield back in 2023.
A Breakout Season Building Trust
Numbers help explain why Liverpool moved quickly here. As reported by Vanguard News, Dominik Szoboszlai made 53 appearances in all competitions last season. He scored 13 goals and set up 12 more. That made him the first player in his role at the club to reach double figures in both categories since Steven Gerrard managed it back in 2013-14.
Dominik Szoboszlai for Liverpool in 2025/26, as per FOTMOB:
Competitions Matches Goals Assists
Premier League 36 6 7
Community Shield 1 0 1
FA Cup 4 2 0
UCL 12 5 4
That kind of output carries real weight in a tight Premier League title race. Midfield goal contributions often decide narrow margins late in the season. It also stands out given how many other parts of the squad struggled through a genuinely tough campaign.
Supporters clearly noticed too. He was voted the club’s own player of the season last term, as reported byAOL. That is a fairly rare honour for someone who spends as much time doing defensive work as he does creating chances further forward. It shows just how complete his game has become.
Dominik Szoboszlai Eyes Silverware And Captaincy Talk
Beyond personal numbers, Dominik Szoboszlai has made his goals clear. He has already won a league title and a domestic cup at the club. After signing his new deal, he said he wants to add the Champions League to that list next. It is a bold target, but one in keeping with his ambitions.
There is also growing talk about leadership. As reported by Sunday Guardian Live, Virgil van Dijk has suggested the Hungary captain could eventually take over the armband at the club. The Dutch defender is entering the final year of his own contract, so a transition could follow soon. Iraola will likely lean on senior voices like him while he settles into the role.
For now, though, the club has one less headache to sort out before the new campaign begins. As reported by GOAL, the futures of the Hungarian and fellow midfielder Ryan Gravenberch have reportedly been handled together. That is good news for supporters hoping for a quieter run of summer football headlines.
