Dominik Szoboszlai Signs New Liverpool Contract Until 2031

Dominik Szoboszlai has tied his future to Liverpool, signing a new five-year contract that runs to 2031 and underlines his status as one of the club’s central pillars for the next era at Anfield.

The Hungary captain, 25, arrived from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £60m and wasted no time justifying the fee. In his first full season he became Liverpool’s standout performer, driving the team from midfield with 13 goals and 12 assists and playing with the kind of authority that made it clear he was not just passing through.

He wants more. A lot more.

"There's always more to come. I'm never happy," Szoboszlai said after signing. "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."

Those are not the words of a player content with a good season and a long contract. They are a statement of intent from a footballer who sees Anfield as the stage on which his prime years should play out.

A Deal That Ends the Doubt

For months, his future had been the subject of speculation. Two years remained on his previous deal, yet talks between his representatives and new sporting director Richard Hughes rumbled on in the background as Europe’s elite watched closely.

The pace changed recently. Negotiations accelerated in the past few weeks, and by this week an agreement was in place and signed. Liverpool get clarity, Szoboszlai gets commitment, and both sides are convinced his ceiling is still rising.

The timing matters. With Liverpool reshaping key areas of the squad and a new hierarchy settling in behind the scenes, securing their most dynamic midfielder until 2031 sends a clear message about where they plan to build from.

From Statement Signing to Central Figure

When Liverpool paid £60m to bring him from RB Leipzig, Szoboszlai arrived as a statement signing. A year on, he feels indispensable.

He has become the heartbeat of Liverpool’s attacking play from midfield: aggressive without the ball, inventive with it, relentless in transition. The numbers – 13 goals, 12 assists – only tell part of the story. His energy, his willingness to take responsibility in tight moments, and his ability to drag the team up the pitch have given Liverpool a different dimension.

In February, Mohamed Salah, who has since left the club, called him "one of the best players in the world". That kind of endorsement from a modern Liverpool great carries weight in any dressing room. It also reflects how quickly Szoboszlai has earned respect at Anfield.

Leadership Beckons

This new contract is not just about goals, assists and resale value. It is about leadership.

With Andy Robertson departing this summer, Liverpool must appoint a new vice-captain. Szoboszlai, already captain of Hungary, now stands as one of the strongest candidates to take on that responsibility at club level.

He has the profile for it: vocal on the pitch, demanding of standards, and unafraid to set public targets that match Liverpool’s own lofty ambitions. The club’s decision to lock him in until 2031 only strengthens the sense that he will be at the centre of whatever comes next.

Liverpool have secured their midfield talisman for his peak years. Szoboszlai, in turn, has nailed his colours to the Anfield mast with a simple promise: he is here to win everything.
