International Manager of Liverpool Star Makes Real Madrid Transfer Admission

Budapest – The magnetic pull of Real Madrid remains undiminished, according to Hungary head coach Marco Rossi, who has revealed that Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai “dreams” of wearing the famous white shirt.

Speaking ahead of the summer window, Rossi became the latest voice to underline Madrid’s enduring status as football’s final destination, even for players tied to storied European rivals. “No matter how good or bad Real Madrid are playing, they will always be at the end of the chain,” Rossi said, echoing a sentiment that has carried Los Blancos from the purchase of Luís Figo from Barcelona in 2000 to the capture of Trent Alexander-Arnold from boyhood club Liverpool last summer.

Now Szoboszlai appears to be the next Anfield star seduced by the Spanish capital. The 23-year-old playmaker enters the final two years of his Liverpool contract this summer, placing contract-extension talks under sharp scrutiny. Should negotiations stall, Liverpool risk a repeat of the Alexander-Arnold scenario, when the right-back departed for Madrid on a free after entering the final year of his deal.

While Szoboszlai lacks the local ties that made Alexander-Arnold’s exit so painful for Merseyside supporters, Rossi’s public confirmation of the player’s ambition adds a layer of urgency to Liverpool’s decision-making. “It wouldn’t be as headline-grabbing as luring a scouser, but it would again demonstrate the unique gravitational pull Real Madrid possess,” Rossi noted.

Any potential transfer would also test the sometimes-fractured relationship between the two European heavyweights. Relations soured last summer after Madrid secured Alexander-Arnold, and Liverpool may be reluctant to strengthen the Spanish giants once more. Yet history shows that when Madrid identify a target—David Beckham’s 2003 switch from Manchester United being the textbook example—player power often prevails.

On the pitch, Szoboszlai’s versatility could offer Carlo Ancelotti tactical flexibility. The Hungarian has already logged minutes alongside Madrid’s No. 12, frequently dropping into right-sided areas to cover defensive duties while orchestrating play. With Federico Valverde entrenched in a similar role, competition would be fierce, but depth across multiple competitions has become a prerequisite for Madrid’s domestic and European assaults.

For now, the story remains hypothetical, but Rossi’s candid admission ensures the rumour mill will spin faster with each passing week. Liverpool must decide whether to lock down their No. 8 or brace for another high-profile departure to the Bernabéu.

Real Madrid, as ever, watch and wait.
