Liverpool need to renew Dominik Szoboszlai's contract at any cost, as we could see a repeat of the Trent Alexander Arnold situation where he ends up joining Real Madrid if the Reds fail to convince him to sign a new contract. Szoboszlai has been without a doubt Liverpool's best player this season, and we could even make the argument that Arne Slot might not even be in a Liverpool job right now if not for the heroics of Szoboszlai this season.
With the Hungarian now establishing himself as one of their most important players, the onus is now on Liverpool to hand him a new contract offer that's too good to refuse and thus take away any chance of Real Madrid potentially signing him on a low transfer fee or as a free agent.
Dominik Szoboszlai has been simply sensational this season for Liverpool. In fact, this is the season where he has arguably established himself as one of the best midfielders in world football. The Hungarian is a special talent, and replacing him would almost be an impossible task for Liverpool as there's simply no one like him. Szoboszlai is a rare midfielder who can also play brilliantly at right back, and he can take the position of winger or attacking midfielder if the manager instructs him to do so. He also excels in all these positions as well, that's what makes him a top talent.
His biggest highlight is his ability to score exquisite free kicks and long-range goals. Such goals from him have saved Liverpool numerous times this season, and it's also a treat to the eye as well for any sports lover or football fan. Szoboszlai is also displaying excellent leadership skills for the Reds despite just being 25. He is about to reach his prime in the coming years, and Liverpool will be foolish to not have him at the club when his powers would arguably be at their strongest.
Dominik Szoboszlai is the type of player Florentino Perez would love to sign
Dominik Szoboszlai perfectly fits the profile of a Galactico signing that Florentino Perez loves to make. The Real Madrid chairman is always a fan of those players who are not only brilliant at their game, but also a visual joy to watch, and can also help the club immensely from a commercial perspective. Szoboszlai ticks all those boxes, and Perez also wouldn't even care if the Hungarian is the type of player that the club would even need right now. Perez gets whoever he wants if they fit into his idea of being a successful Galactico signing, and one doesn't need to look any further than the Kylian Mbappe deal as a proof of this.
Hungary head coach Marco Rossi had also revealed earlier this season that Szoboszlai had always dreamed of joining Real Madrid when he was young. Combining this statement and the current uncertainty regarding his contract renewal with Liverpool should be a huge worry for the fans. In our eyes, it is crystal clear what Liverpool needs to do, which is to give Szoboszlai whatever he demands and renew his contract (as long as the numbers are realistic). Even if his new deal makes him the club's highest earner, it still wouldn't be the wrong move considering how important he has become for Liverpool. If they can't agree to new terms, then we could see Szoboszlai playing for Real Madrid in a few years.
