Liverpool are set to accelerate talks with Dominik Szoboszlai to tie down the Hungarian amid rival interest.
Dominik Szoboszlai has been by far Liverpool’s best player in a difficult season, with the club keen to keep hold of him for the long term. As per Team Talk, the Merseysiders are now ready to accelerate talks with the Hungarian over a long-term deal amid interest from the likes of Real Madrid.
Liverpool have had a difficult season that has ruled them out of the title race many months ago, and now leaves them on the verge of exiting the Champions League. There’s still a chance they could pull off a miracle against PSG in the second leg of their quarterfinal, but the odds are seen as low.
In what has been described as a challenging year, Dominik Szoboszlai has emerged as their best player this season. The Hungarian has often carried the team on his own on multiple occasions, which has seen his stature rise within the Merseyside club, giving rise to talk of a new deal for the midfielder, who has 20 goals and assists this season.
Amid reports that Liverpool have already made an offer, the suggestions are that Szoboszlai could become one of the highest earners at the club with the new deal. The Merseysiders are now ready to accelerate talks over a new deal and get an agreement in place at the earliest, amid rival interest.
Szoboszlai’s renewal would be a fantastic piece of business for the club, which will then manage to fend off interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen to land a top-level midfielder in the summer, with the 25-year-old Hungarian certainly on their list of important targets.
Will Szoboszlai renew with Liverpool?
Liverpool have long been relaxed about Szoboszlai’s situation despite some early links to Real Madrid. The club believes that the Hungarian wants to continue with this project, which could see one of their most talented midfielders commit to the club for the long term.
Szoboszlai has not shown any indication of leaving the club despite the difficult season they have been having. However, the offer from Liverpool should be strong enough to convince the Hungarian of a key status in the team, as well as financially, as teams like Real Madrid will be waiting in the background and keeping tabs on his situation at Anfield.
