Liverpool are determined not to repeat past transfer mistakes as they enter fresh contract discussions with midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai over a new deal.
The Reds are reportedly working to improve Szoboszlai’s personal terms and secure his long-term future at Anfield, according to a source on X.
Szoboszlai’s current contract at Liverpool runs until June 2028, leaving him with two years remaining on his existing deal.
While two years may not seem immediately pressing to supporters, modern football demands that clubs begin making serious decisions at exactly this stage.
Allowing a key player to drift into the final 12 months of their contract is a dangerous game, particularly when that player carries significant market value.
Liverpool have already been hurt by contract mismanagement in recent times, with Trent Alexander-Arnold departing for Real Madrid and Ibrahima Konaté reportedly close to joining Madrid on a free transfer after renewal talks collapsed.
Those situations appear to have sharpened the club’s thinking, making the Szoboszlai case feel far larger than just one individual player’s future.
This is about Liverpool demonstrating a willingness to act early rather than allowing key assets to drift toward an uncertain contractual position.
Szoboszlai himself previously acknowledged that talks had begun but admitted there had been no major progress at that point, saying the situation was “not in my hands.”
From a sporting perspective, retaining the Hungarian midfielder makes clear sense given the energy, pressing, creativity and personality he brings to Liverpool’s midfield.
He may not always deliver a perfect performance, but he consistently offers the team something distinctive and difficult to replace within the squad.
In a period of squad transition and uncertainty at Anfield, Szoboszlai has emerged as one of the players the club should look to build around going forward.
Liverpool’s position is straightforward according to reports: either Szoboszlai commits to improved terms on a new deal, or the club must seriously consider selling while his value remains high.
That stance may sound firm, but it reflects smart business thinking from a club that has learned costly lessons from previous contract situations.
Getting this decision right will be a strong signal that Liverpool’s approach to player retention has genuinely changed under the current structure.
