Dominik Szoboszlai Issues Firm Response to Real Transfer Rumors

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has quashed speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, reaffirming his commitment to the Merseyside club ahead of the summer transfer window. The 25-year-old has been Liverpool’s standout performer during a dismal 2025-26 campaign that has seen the Reds surrender their Premier League crown and crash out of the FA Cup in a humiliating 4-0 quarterfinal defeat to Manchester City.

Szoboszlai’s future has come under scrutiny due to his contract situation, with his current deal set to expire in 2028. While Real Madrid have reportedly monitored his status, the Hungarian international has dismissed any notion of a switch to the Bernabéu. “I love being here,” Szoboszai told the press. “My family is happy, I love the club, I love the fans, I love to play for this club and that is it.”

The midfielder’s declaration follows comments from Hungary manager Marco Rossi in February, who suggested Szoboszai “dreams” of playing for the La Liga giants. Rossi’s remarks stoked fears among Liverpool supporters, but Szoboszai’s recent interview has eased concerns. With Mohamed Salah’s impending exit freeing up wage space, Liverpool are expected to prioritize a lucrative extension for Szoboszai, who is poised to become one of the club’s highest-paid players.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, have yet to fully commit to replacing departing veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić, with Aurélien Tchouaméni emerging as a key figure. Los Blancos are also monitoring alternatives, including Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández, whose future has been questioned, and Manchester City’s Rodri, whom Pep Guardiola has refused to block. Young talents like Thiago Pitarch and Nico Paz, expected to return from Como, remain on Madrid’s radar.

For now, Szoboszai’s focus remains on Liverpool, where his loyalty and performances have endeared him to fans despite the club’s struggles.
