Dominik Szoboszlai has signed a new five-year contract with Liverpool and said it was maybe the biggest day of his career to commit his future to the club.
The midfielder, who had entered the last two years of his previous deal, has agreed to stay at Anfield until he is 30 and has targeted winning the Champions League before he goes.
Szoboszlai had been in talks with Liverpool for months and there was always the belief he wanted to stay but discussions accelerated in the last few weeks.
“It’s maybe my biggest day,” he told Liverpool’s club website. “There are a couple in front of it – probably when I signed for Liverpool the first one and when I got my baby, of course. But in my football career, I can say this is in the top three. Very happy. [I] can’t wait to go again and again and again. I’m just happy to be here.”
Liverpool have rewarded Szoboszlai for his outstanding form last season, when he scored 13 goals, got 12 assists and played in a variety of positions, with a new deal.
While the Hungarian, a £60m signing from RB Leipzig in 2023, was also influential when they won the Premier League in 2024-25, he believes his best years are ahead of him.
“There’s always more to come. I’m never happy,” Szoboszlai added. “I’m happy with myself but I think I can do even better. I think that’s why I’m sitting here, because that pushed me since I was a kid: that it was never enough. And I’m thinking the same now.
“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.”
In addition to Szoboszlai’s contract, Liverpool have brought in winger Victor Munoz this summer while defender Jeremy Jacquet, whose purchase from Rennes was arranged in January, has joined up with new head coach Andoni Iraola’s squad.
