Close<\/a>Based in Liverpool, Beth Lindop is ESPN’s Liverpool correspondent and also covers the WSL and UWCL.<\/p>\n Multiple Authors<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a> midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> has admitted he would love to extend his stay at the club but said the decision is “not in [his] hands”.<\/p>\n Szoboszlai’s current contract expires in 2028, but Liverpool opened talks over a potential new deal for the 25-year-old earlier this season. Sources told ESPN Liverpool view Szoboszlai as a potential future captain and are eager to reward his impressive form this term.<\/p>\n Asked whether there has been any progress in negotiations, Szoboszlai said: “Nothing yet, to be honest. Nothing, from now on … it is not in my hands. It works this way. There is no progression but if the right offer comes then let’s see.<\/p>\n “Let’s see what happens, hopefully everyone will be happy at the end. Of course [I want to stay]. I like the city, I like the club, I like playing with these guys, I love Anfield, I love the fans, let’s see what the future holds.<\/p>\n “It is not on me. I would love to [stay]. We will see.”<\/p>\n Szoboszlai — who joined the club from RB Leipzig<\/a> in 2023 — has been one of Liverpool’s standout performers this season, with eight goals and seven assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n The Hungary<\/a> international was asked to fill in at right-back in Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Newcastle United<\/a> on Saturday due to injuries to Conor Bradley<\/a> and Jeremie Frimpong<\/a>, however he insisted he is not a long-term solution to the club’s defensive troubles.<\/p>\n – Sources: Liverpool move for Sunderland’s Geertruida<\/a> “Not long-term, not even medium-term to be honest in my head,” he said. “As I’ve said before, I’m a midfielder and hopefully our right-back is going to come back from injury, and I can get back in the middle. But if the team needs me, or the coach needs me there, I will play and try to give my best but now Wata [Endo] is ready to play, also Curtis [Jones] is ready to play there, so we have quite a few options now.”<\/p>\n Szoboszlai added: “I am the type of guy who it is never enough for me, I can always be better and better, so there is no limit up there. I would like to get as many goals as I can, as many assists and win as many trophies as possible. That’s my plan. That’s how I grew up and that’s how I want to keep going.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beth LindopFeb 1, 2026, 07:01 AM ET CloseBased in Liverpool, Beth Lindop is ESPN’s Liverpool correspondent and also…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447532,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-447531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Dominik Szoboszlai\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n
