Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot has claimed that midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is worth £100 million if the club were to sell him tomorrow, highlighting the Hungarian's incredible value beyond the high-profile summer signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, both of whom cost the club over £100 million each.
Slot made this claim while emphasizing that Liverpool already possess several players in their squad with valuations around the same level as their record-breaking new recruits. Szoboszlai, who was signed by Jurgen Klopp in 2023 for £60 million, has impressed at Liverpool not only in his natural central midfield role but also out of position at right-back, where his energy and dynamism have kept other players like Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley out of the starting XI.
Slot praised Szoboszlai’s performances, describing him as 'unbelievable' after a stunning free-kick winner against Arsenal, and noted that despite external scrutiny focusing on new signings, the squad is full of valuable assets worth significant sums. Szoboszlai is just 24 years old and has three years remaining on his contract, which adds to his high valuation.
The Dutch manager also highlighted the club’s financial activity, pointing out that while Liverpool spent £450 million in the summer, they also recouped over £300 million by selling several players, showing a balance in their transfer dealings. Slot used this context to defend his players against pundits who focus heavily on the spending rather than the existing squad strength.
Looking ahead, Szoboszlai could return to midfield to cover for Alexis Mac Allister, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, for Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid. Slot’s comments underline the exceptional calibre of talent Liverpool currently have, suggesting that their squad’s value goes far beyond recent marquee signings.
