Dominik Szoboszlai Commits to Liverpool Until 2031

Dominik Szoboszlai has tied his future to Liverpool, signing a new five-year contract that will keep him at Anfield until 2031 and plant him firmly at the heart of the club’s next cycle.

The 25-year-old arrived from RB Leipzig for £60m in 2023. One season in, that fee already looks like sharp business. Szoboszlai emerged as Liverpool’s standout performer last term, driving the team from midfield with 13 goals and 12 assists and playing with the kind of authority that makes a side bend to his rhythm.

He has never hidden his ambition, and he did not soften it as the ink dried on his new deal.

"There's always more to come. I'm never happy," he said. "I want to set the example. I want to be an example also for everyone, as much as I can. When I signed, I said I want to win everything. That didn't change for a little moment either. It stayed the same. I want to win everything that is possible in this country, also let's say the Champions League. I'm ready to go for it."

The message is clear: this is not a comfort contract. It is a challenge, to himself and to the club.

For months, speculation swirled around his future as his camp held talks with new sporting director Richard Hughes. Those discussions have now reached their conclusion. Negotiations accelerated in recent weeks, and the agreement was finally signed this week, ending any doubt over whether Liverpool’s most dynamic midfielder would be staying long term.

He still had two years remaining on his previous deal, but Liverpool have moved aggressively to lock him in through what they believe – and he believes – will be his peak years. The club sees a player still climbing, not one already at the top of the mountain.

They are not alone in that assessment. In February, Mohamed Salah, who has since left Liverpool, described Szoboszlai as "one of the best players in the world". Coming from the club’s modern goal-scoring benchmark, the compliment landed heavily inside the dressing room and beyond.

Now, with Salah gone and Andy Robertson also leaving Anfield this summer, the leadership picture is shifting. Liverpool need a new vice-captain. Szoboszlai, already captain of Hungary and now secured on a long-term deal, will be a powerful contender for the role.

He has the profile for it: a marquee signing who has delivered, a vocal presence, and a player whose standards on the pitch match the ambition he voices off it. Liverpool are not just building around his talent; they are increasingly building around his personality.

The contract is more than paperwork. It is a statement that, in a summer of change, one of the club’s central pillars is not going anywhere – and intends to drag Liverpool towards the trophies he keeps talking about.
