When Trent-Alexander Arnold opted out of continuing at Liverpool for the big money at Real Madrid, the fans turned against their former superstar. After the end of the 2024/25 season, comments were made that Alexander-Arnold is nothing without the support of his teammates at Liverpool. The right-back has admittedly struggled in his new life at the La Liga giants, but for the Liverpool game, the loss of Alexander-Arnold has been great. In recent months, Real Madrid have once again been on a Liverpool raid, this time for another key player.

It is about Dominik Szoboszlai, the player Virgil van Dijk highlighted as a potential Liverpool captain. The Hungarian international is well on his way to playing his way into Liverpool’s best player this season, with 10 goals and 7 assists in 34 games, the 25-year-old really stands out in a demanding season for the Reds.

Ulke English media have, unsurprisingly, reported that Liverpool are on the verge of tying Szobo to a new and longer contract with conditions that are in line with the performance. At the same time, Spanish media have claimed Real Madrid have their sights set on the midfield star and are ready to lure the 25-year-old quickly from Anfield.

According to Teamtalk’s sources , Szoboszlai’s only focus is on Liverpool, and that his priority remains to negotiate a new deal, which will likely lead to him becoming one of the club’s highest-paid players.

Now the journalist David Lych is also following up with signals he has picked up that support this.

-At the moment there is absolutely nothing in it,” Lynch begins to Anfield Index.

-It’s not as if people say that someone is going to pick him up. I think it’s all evolved from someone [Hungary manager Marco Rossi] saying he wanted to play for Real Madrid… We’ll see, but I haven’t heard anything about actual interest in him or that he’s going to go anywhere, so it’s not something I think it’s worth wasting time worrying about really, says the journalist.
