Dominik Szoboszlai finds himself at the center of a mostly fan/public debate, with the arrival of German star Florian Wirtz threatening to intensify pressure on his position at Anfield.

The £116.5 million record-breaking signing has sparked conversations about the hierarchy within Arne Slot’s midfield, placing the No?



8’s starting berth under scrutiny.

This repositioning isn’t necessarily by choice.

Wirtz’s exceptional creative abilities and proven track record in the Bundesliga make him a direct threat to Szoboszlai’s role.

The German international’s arrival represents everything that Liverpool fans have been hoping to see from Szoboszlai – goals, assists, and game-changing moments that justify a massive transfer fee.

Nevertheless, the agent of Szoboszlai, Mátyás Esterházy, has revealed that his client wants to be part of a Liverpool that is “working on very significant developments” in the immediate future:

“I haven’t thought ahead about Dominik’s career for quite a long time,” Esterházy said to Hungarian outlet M4 Sports.

“He almost reached the point of being a key member of the team that won the Premier League.”

“The club is working on very significant developments, it wants to be more and more successful, and to be a part of it is fantastic.”

Esterházy then responded to the Florian Wirtz question, and asserts that he not even worrying about this possibility:

“I am neither afraid of nor interested in this question or suggestion.”

“Since the age of 16, Dominik has been in an environment where competition is fundamental,” the agent explained.

“I have never seen a PL-winning club that does not want to develop, does not sign top players.”

“I’m sure the two of them will be together on the pitch in some way.

“Of course, I don’t have to put together the team, one of the best coaches in the world sits on the Liverpool bench, he has a lot more information than me.”

“I hope that Dominik will jump this step and become more and more successful with the constantly developing team.”

Pre-season will provide the first real indication of how Slot plans to utilize both midfielders, and whether there’s genuinely room for both in the starting XI.

The Hungarian’s response to this increased competition will be crucial.

His public statements suggest confidence, but performances on the pitch will ultimately determine his future role at Anfield.

With Wirtz expected to make an immediate impact, Szoboszlai faces the prospect of fighting for minutes in a way he hasn’t experienced since arriving at Liverpool.
