Dominik Szoboszlai's Agent Tells Liverpool Fans What They Want to Hear
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai's agent has firmly dismissed rumors of a potential move to Real Madrid, reassuring fans amid growing speculation.[1][3]
The 25-year-old Hungarian star has been in scintillating form this season, excelling in midfield and even at right-back for the Reds. His performances have attracted interest from Real Madrid, who are seeking midfield reinforcements in the summer of 2026 transfer window. Fueling the fire, Hungary national team boss Marco Rossi revealed that Szoboszlai has long "dreamed" of playing for Los Blancos. Additionally, Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior admitted to regular contact with the Liverpool ace, while reports suggested Madrid contacted Liverpool with an ambitious swap proposal involving Eduardo Camavinga plus €30 million.[1][2][4]
Despite this, Szoboszlai's agent, Matyas Esterhazy, poured cold water on the links in an interview on NB1 (via Anfield Watch). "It’s completely normal for the public, when Dominik is performing like this, to talk about what’s next and if there’s something higher. For us it’s not a topic," Esterhazy stated. He emphasized the mid-season focus on Liverpool's campaigns in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, noting how vital these competitions are to the player.[1][3][5]
Esterhazy highlighted Liverpool's status as "one of the biggest clubs in the world" and Szoboszlai's strong position within the squad, with "a lot of reserves" for growth. Contract extension talks are ongoing since the season's start, though no agreement yet. Sources indicate Liverpool are determined to retain him, ready to meet his £250,000-per-week demands, with no plans to sell despite enquiries from Madrid and Atletico Madrid.[2][3]
While Real Madrid's history of poaching Liverpool talents like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Xabi Alonso, and others looms large, the agent's comments signal commitment to Anfield. Liverpool must secure a new deal soon to ward off further advances.[3]
