Dominik Szoboszlai will stay at Liverpool this summer, with the club making it clear he is not for sale. On 17 Jun 2026, Liverpool confirmed their intention to keep the Hungary international.
What happened?
Liverpool have received interest from several European giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, but have no intention of selling Szoboszlai.
Why it matters for Dominik Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai has become a key player for Liverpool, offering creativity, energy, and leadership in midfield. He has been instrumental in the team's success since arriving from RB Leipzig.
What comes next?
Liverpool are now looking to strengthen their midfield by signing Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton. The England international has risen rapidly since leaving Blackburn and is viewed as one of the Premier League's brightest young midfielders.
Liverpool see Wharton as an ideal complement to Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch, forming a youthful midfield core for the long term. Crystal Palace are expected to demand at least £70 million for Wharton, but Liverpool's owners, FSG, are reportedly 'prepared' to back the move.
Andoni Iraola, the Liverpool manager, is keen to implement a high-intensity style, and Wharton's composure, passing range, and intelligence make him a strong fit. Szoboszlai has become one of Liverpool's most influential players, and his presence will be crucial in the upcoming season.
On 17 Jun 2026, talks over a new contract for Szoboszlai were already progressing, with the club hopeful of securing an agreement before the new Premier League season. Lewis Blain reported that Liverpool have stepped up work on a potential deal for Wharton.
The future of Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones is still uncertain, with ongoing speculation surrounding their futures at the club. But one thing is clear: Dominik Szoboszlai is a non-negotiable part of Liverpool's plans.
The transfer window is open, and Liverpool are ready to make a statement of intent. With Szoboszlai at the helm, and potentially Wharton by his side, the Reds are looking to make a strong push in the upcoming season.
