Liverpool Moves Quickly to Extend Szoboszlai’s Contract Amid Bayern’s Temptation

Gilabola.com – Liverpool are reportedly trying to speed up negotiations on Dominik Szoboszlai’s new contract. Fabrizio Romano’s report states that talks are already underway, while Bayern Munich is said to have failed to meet the price and convince the player.

Even though the contract is still long until 2028, management Communists wanted to tie the Hungarian star for longer because of his scintillating performances.

Since joining from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 with a transfer value of IDR 1.35 trillion, Szoboszlai has immediately become an important part of Liverpool’s midfield. His energetic playing style and ability to shoot from distance made him quickly endeared to Anfield supporters.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool are now working quickly to extend his contract. The club is reportedly ready to increase his salary as a form of appreciation for his impressive performance over the last two seasons.

Romano explained that talks with Szoboszlai had begun, although they had not yet reached the final stage. Negotiations are still ongoing, and the two parties are said to have a positive relationship.

He added that Liverpool wanted to complete this deal as quickly as possible so that the player could remain focused on the pitch without the distraction of speculation. The club is even said to want to secure Szoboszlai for the long term, along with plans to extend Ryan Gravenberch’s contract.

The same source said that although there has been no verbal agreement, communication between the two parties continues in a constructive atmosphere.

Interest from Bayern Munich

On the other hand, Hungarian media reported that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid had shown interest in Szoboszlai. However, further reports revealed that Bayern did not have the financial capacity to redeem the player from Liverpool.

A trusted account on X (Twitter) revealed that Bayern had actually long made Szoboszlai their main target in midfield. However, the German club is unable to match the stability and attractiveness of Liverpool’s current project.

This situation is certainly encouraging news for Liverpool supporters. It is believed that they will not lose one of their best players in the near future, especially after Bayern withdrew from the hunt.

Apart from Bayern, Real Madrid and Manchester City have also been linked, but there have been no concrete steps from either of them. Liverpool remains in full control of the midfielder’s future.

Szoboszlai is still under contract until 2028, so the club actually has no immediate obligation to renew the deal. However, management wants to ensure long-term stability in their midfield.

With his consistent performance and loyalty to the club, Szoboszlai is considered an important part of Liverpool’s new era under coach Arne Slot. He often stood out even when the team experienced consecutive defeats last season.

Romano closed his report by saying that the agreement was not yet complete, but the direction of the negotiations was progressing positively. Liverpool are said to be very confident of retaining Szoboszlai for a long time.
