The 25-year-old Hungary international spoke openly after the game about his future as talks with the club continue to drag on.
Szoboszlai, who signed a five-year contract following his £60m move from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 that runs until 2028, admitted that negotiations which began earlier this season have currently hit a standstill.
Asked for an update, he was blunt: “Honestly, there’s nothing. Nothing at all. From now on, it’s not really up to me. That’s how it works. There’s been no progress, but if the right offer comes, we’ll see. Hopefully everyone ends up happy.”
Despite the uncertainty, he made it clear his preference is to remain at Anfield, speaking warmly about his connection to the club. “I’d really like to stay. I enjoy the city, the club, playing with this team. I love Anfield and the fans. We’ll see what the future brings,” he said.
His comments followed another impressive display, as he played a key role in Liverpool’s comeback from an early setback, injecting energy and quality into a side firmly in the title hunt under Arne Slot.
Naturally, his honesty has unsettled some supporters. Many view Szoboszlai as a vital part of Liverpool’s midfield, with eight goals and seven assists this season, the ability to operate in multiple roles, and strong player-of-the-year credentials.
While there is still plenty of time left on his contract, the lack of progress has prompted questions about wages, long-term planning, and the club’s approach under sporting director Richard Hughes.
Contract discussions around the midfielder have been in the spotlight before, with Szoboszlai confirming talks were ongoing roughly two weeks ago.
His calm attitude — insisting he is focused on performing on the pitch — suggests he is not distracted, but his remark that the situation is “not in my hands” has inevitably drawn comparisons to past contract sagas and stirred speculation.
Liverpool are believed to want to reflect his importance and growth after his role in last season’s title push, and there have been no indications of outside interest or any desire from the player to force a move.
Online reaction has been split, with some fans applauding his transparency and apparent loyalty, while others fear prolonged delays or tempting offers in the future.
Neither Slot nor the club have addressed the situation publicly, with attention remaining on results and maintaining momentum, helped by additions such as Lutsharel Geertruida. Ultimately, Szoboszlai’s message is clear: he wants to stay, but the next step rests with Liverpool.
For now, supporters can take comfort in his affection for the club and Anfield. If a suitable deal is put forward, an agreement should follow. Until then, questions remain, and the future of a crucial midfielder remains unresolved as the season intensifies.
