Liverpool Star's Agent Addresses Real Madrid Transfer Links After 'Dream Club' Claim
Dominik Szoboszlai's agent, Matyas Esterhazy, has firmly dismissed speculation linking the Liverpool midfielder to Real Madrid, stating that the 25-year-old Hungarian is "not looking elsewhere" amid ongoing contract talks at Anfield[5].
The rumors intensified after Hungary national team manager Marco Rossi revealed Szoboszlai's lifelong dream of playing for Real Madrid, telling MARCA that the player has always aspired to wear the Los Blancos jersey[1][2]. Rossi noted their close relationship since childhood and acknowledged Szoboszlai's high regard at Liverpool, one of the world's top clubs, leaving open the possibility of a contract extension[2].
Reports from E-Noticies claim Real Madrid have contacted Liverpool with an ambitious proposal: offering Eduardo Camavinga plus €30million (£26m) in a summer 2026 swap deal for Szoboszlai[1]. The Spanish giants are reportedly prepared to provide a significant salary package to lure him, viewing the midfielder—who has impressed since his Red Bull Salzburg days—as key reinforcement[1][3].
However, Liverpool sources contradict this, insisting there are no plans to sell their star performer, who is crucial this season and praised by Mo Salah as one of the world's best[1][3]. Szoboszlai's current deal runs until 2028, with negotiations underway for a new contract worth £250,000 per week, which FSG is willing to approve[1][2]. While Madrid and Atletico have made enquiries, no formal bids have arrived[1].
Commentators urge Liverpool to secure an extension swiftly, warning of Madrid's history poaching Anfield talents like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Xabi Alonso, and others[3]. Szoboszlai himself remains coy, saying talks are ongoing but "nothing yet"[2]. Despite the 'dream club' narrative, his agent's stance signals commitment to the reigning Premier League champions.
