Dominik Szoboszlai will be granted his contract wishes

Contract talks have taken centre stage once again at Anfield this season.

Following successful negotiations last season for both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk sporting director Richard Hughes has been once again hard at work concluding deals for key first-team players.

Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch have both been handed mammoth extensions while talks continue for Ibrahima Konate.

The Frenchman is now expected to sign a new contract beyond this summer with it originally supposed that the 26-year-old would seek a new club.

Another player the Premier League champions are desperate to tie down is Dominik Szoboszlai.

Szoboszlai wants bumper contract renewal

The 25-year-old has been with Liverpool since 2023 and is contracted up until 2028. But given the Hungarian’s consistency and form the club want to ward off interest from Real Madrid in his services with a bumper new deal.

Szoboszlai’s contract demands have been put at around £250k to £300k per week - in line with the renewal that Gravenberch signed for £277k per week.

And now a report in TEAMtalk claims that Szoboszlai is going to get his contract wishes granted by Liverpool - who he joined from RB Leipzig in a £60m deal.

“Liverpool are making progress in talks over a new contract for Dominik Szoboszlai,” the report reads.

“The playmaker is set for a significant pay rise, as the club looks to fight off interest from Real Madrid.”

New deal before next season for Szoboszlai

We can expect Szoboszlai to be extended before the start of the 2026/27 season according to the report with the No8 set to be placed in the top bracket of club earners.

“The club are now pushing to finalise terms before the start of the next campaign,” the report reads.

“Negotiations are moving in a positive direction, with the club preparing to accelerate talks in the coming weeks as they enter a crucial period ahead of the summer window.

“We understand that Szoboszlai is set to be rewarded with a new deal that will place him among Liverpool’s top earners, with a substantial pay rise already agreed in principle.”

Following a satisfactory conclusion in talks for Gakpo and Gravenberch we now wait official word on both Konate and Szoboszlai.
