Liverpool could be heading toward a tricky decision behind the scenes after fresh reports shed light on Dominik Szoboszlai’s contract expectations.
The Hungarian midfielder has been a standout performer for the Reds this season, quickly establishing himself as one of the most influential figures in Arne Slot’s squad. With performances like these, calls for a new and improved deal have grown louder among supporters.
However, according to reports from Hungary, Szoboszlai may be aiming for a significant pay rise if he is to commit his long-term future to Anfield. The figure being mentioned is around £300,000 per week, a substantial jump from his current earnings.
Additional claims suggest the 25-year-old is presently on a salary closer to £120,000–£150,000 per week, meaning Liverpool would need to more than double his wages to meet those demands.
Is Liverpool ready to meet the asking price?
There’s little doubt Liverpool will want to retain a player of Szoboszlai’s quality, but agreeing to a deal of that size could test the club’s wage structure. A contract worth £300,000 a week would place him among the club’s highest earners and reportedly above players like Alexander Isak in the Premier League salary rankings.
While Szoboszlai’s form this season has been impressive — arguably surpassing some of his high-profile peers — questions remain over whether he has done enough consistently over multiple seasons to justify entering that elite pay bracket.
Szoboszlai’s influence this season
The midfielder has already recorded eight goals and six assists from midfield this campaign, matching his total goal output from the previous season with plenty of matches still to play. At 25, he appears to be approaching his prime, and his versatility has only strengthened his value.
In addition to his midfield duties, Szoboszlai has also shown his adaptability by filling in at right-back when required, underlining his importance to Slot’s tactical setup.
Big decision ahead for the Reds
Liverpool now face a familiar balancing act: reward a key player who is delivering at a high level, or proceed cautiously to avoid disrupting their wage structure.
