Liverpool Move Toward Szoboszlai Contract Extension as Outside Links Persist

Team insiders have cooled talk of firm bids, with one report pointing to a breakthrough toward new terms before next season.

Overview

  • TEAMtalk, relayed by Yahoo Sports, reports a major breakthrough in negotiations and confidence the midfielder will sign a new deal before next season.
  • Anfield journalist David Lynch told Anfield Index there is “absolutely nothing in” talk of a Real Madrid push and he has heard no concrete interest.
  • Former Man City adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider Szoboszlai now sits in roughly the £100m bracket and Liverpool would think twice about selling even at that level.
  • Football Insider notes he has 10 goals and seven assists in 36 appearances this season and has also filled in at right-back during injury absences.
  • Football Insider quoted ex-club executive Keith Wyness suggesting he could be eyeing Real Madrid, a view presented as opinion without confirmed bids; Szoboszlai is under contract until 2028 after a £60m move from RB Leipzig in 2023.
