Dominik Szoboszlai Makes a Promise to Liverpool Fans He's 'Pretty Sure' He Can Keep

In a recent interview, Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai addressed swirling rumors about his future while making a heartfelt promise to the Anfield faithful. The Hungarian star, whose contract runs until 2028, confirmed ongoing talks for a new deal but emphasized his commitment to the club amid interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich[1][2][3].



Szoboszlai has been a standout performer in the 2025/26 season, boasting impressive stats like 91st percentile in non-penalty xG (0.16 per 90) and 95th in xAG (0.21 per 90) among Europe's top midfielders. His average Premier League rating sits at 7.32, just behind teammate Ryan Gravenberch's 7.43[1]. Despite a recent penalty miss in a 1-1 draw against Burnley, he vowed, "I'm going to take the next one and I'm pretty sure I'm going to score it," signaling his resilience and dedication[2].

Sources report an agreement in principle for a long-term extension, with Liverpool aiming to ward off suitors and reward his form—six goals and four assists this term[1][2][3]. A Hungarian pundit urged him to stay, arguing he'd risk rebuilding authority at Madrid, where he's a guaranteed starter at Anfield[4]. Szoboszlai echoed this loyalty: "Of course I am happy here... I'll keep giving my best for the team, for the fans"[2].

Amid Liverpool's title defense challenges—six losses already, trailing Arsenal—he issued a defiant warning: "Don't win it in January." On a nine-match unbeaten streak, he stressed focusing game-by-game for a top-four push, praising Mohamed Salah's mentorship[5]. The club, fresh off a transformative 2023 window, eyes similar extensions for stars like Alexis Mac Allister[1].

Szoboszlai's promise? Unwavering focus and penalty redemption—one he’s pretty sure he can keep. Fans can breathe easy as talks progress[6].
