The agent of Dominik Szoboszlai says the Liverpool star's camp are unconcerned about the prospect of £116m Florian Wirtz increasing competition for places in Arne Slot's midfield.

And Matyas Esterhazy, who also represents new goalkeeper Armin Pecsi, has outlined the club's plan for £1.5m arrival, saying the youngster will benefit from the training in an elite environment on Merseyside.

Wirtz was signed from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month when the club struck a record deal worth an initial £100m with a further £16m in success-based add-ons and the 22-year-old is expected to feature in the most advanced of Slot's three-man midfield positions, which is a role Szoboszlai played for the majority of the 24/25 term as the Reds won the Premier League.

Esterhazy, whose work helped seal a £60m for Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig two years ago, says the Hungary captain and his entourage aren't worried about a big-spending summer at Anfield, saying it is to be expected for a club who are looking to retain their title.

"I haven't thought ahead about Dominik's career for quite a long time," Esterhazy told M4 Sport.

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

I have never seen a Premier League-winning club that does not want to develop, and does not sign top players.

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

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

"If anyone has a feeling of lack after what Dominik achieved by the age of 24, blame yourself.

If what Dominik has achieved is a success enough for someone in today's Hungary, then he is a happy person, he has every reason to applaud him and gain motivation.

"I always tell my own son to look up to people like that, to draw strength from the path, attitude and work ethic of such people.
