Liverpool and Dominik Szoboszlai have reportedly reached an agreement in principle on a new contract. The deal, which could extend Szoboszlai’s stay until 2030 or 2031, represents a significant upgrade from the five-year contract he originally signed when arriving from RB Leipzig in July 2023 for a reported £60 million. That original agreement runs through 2028, which means Liverpool is doing exactly what smart clubs do: locking down talent before the final two years of a deal, when leverage starts shifting uncomfortably toward the player’s side.

The numbers behind the new terms

Szoboszlai’s current wages sit at around £120,000 per week. The new agreement is expected to push that figure toward £250,000 per week, more than doubling his earnings. His original transfer from Leipzig cost Liverpool roughly £60 million, which at the time converted to about $70 million. His average annual salary under the existing deal works out to approximately $6.24 million per year.

Rival clubs have reportedly shown interest in Szoboszlai during the extension discussions. Szoboszlai himself has publicly said he wants to stay at Liverpool, though he added that the decision isn’t entirely in his hands.
