“Preliminary agreement reached: Liverpool poised to snub Real Madrid with January transfer on the horizon”

 

 

Dominik Szoboszlai is now poised to commit his future to Liverpool by signing a new long-term contract. According to CaughtOffside, the Hungarian midfielder is expected to turn down interest from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. This comes as Liverpool continue contract negotiations with Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister.

While Fotmob’s stats might not fully capture his impact, Szoboszlai’s performances on the pitch have shown him to be a key figure for Liverpool in the 2025/26 season. The former RB Leipzig star has been consistently reliable on the ball and a formidable presence in midfield, standing out among his Premier League peers.

It’s no surprise that elite clubs like Bayern and Real Madrid were monitoring his situation, hoping to see if a contract stalemate might arise. Liverpool clearly value their number eight highly, and the stats back it up: Szoboszlai ranks among Europe’s top creative and offensive midfielders.

Looking back, the 2025 transfer window under Jörg Schmadtke deserves more praise than it often gets. The arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch transformed Liverpool’s midfield, giving the club one of the strongest trios in world football and firmly positioning them for success.
