Liverpool face a growing concern as Dominik Szoboszlai’s contract negotiations look set to “drag on,” right as Real Madrid’s interest in the midfielder begins to surface.
The Hungarian captain has become the heartbeat of Arne Slot’s midfield this season, but his stellar form has attracted the most dangerous suitor in world football.
According to journalist David Lynch, speaking on the Anfield Index podcast, the situation could become a long-term saga as the player holds a strong hand in negotiations.

Lynch noted that while Liverpool fans shouldn’t panic just yet, the “dream” of playing for Real Madrid is a powerful factor for any elite player.
“I wouldn’t worry too much… but you would like to see Liverpool wrap that one up as soon as possible,” Lynch commented, acknowledging that players often use interest from clubs like Madrid to strengthen their bargaining position.
For Real Madrid, Szoboszlai represents the modern, dynamic midfielder they value—someone capable of dictating the tempo and driving forward with elite creativity.
With Liverpool currently sitting 6th in the Premier League and struggling for consistency, the lure of the Santiago Bernabéu might become harder to resist if the Reds’ “challenging title defense” continues to falter.
As it stands, Szoboszlai is the engine of Slot’s tactical setup. Losing him to the 15-time European champions would leave a massive void at Anfield, but for Madrid, it would be another statement signing for their star-studded future.
