Dominik Szoboszlai has emerged as one of the few bright sparks in Liverpool’s increasingly bleak run of form — but back home in Hungary, some believe his future may lie elsewhere. Former Premier League midfielder Péter Halmosi has publicly urged the 25-year-old to consider a move away from Anfield if a club such as Real Madrid come calling, comments made to Blikk in the aftermath of Liverpool’s heavy defeat to PSV Eindhoven.
The 4–1 loss in midweek was more than just another bad night. It marked Liverpool’s ninth defeat in 12 matches and their third consecutive game losing by at least three goals. Arne Slot now finds himself fighting for his job, with some fans already calling for decisive action. Amid the uncertainty, Szoboszlai has retained his status as one of the squad’s most consistent performers — and that has reignited speculation about whether he may attract interest from Europe’s elite.
Hungarian figure urges Szoboszlai to weigh his options
Liverpool exit urged frames a growing debate. While the midfielder has been praised consistently for his intensity, versatility and leadership, Halmosi believes that the prospect of Real Madrid — reportedly monitoring him closely — should not be dismissed.
“If Real wants him, that offer should be accepted, at least I would definitely do so. Not because of Liverpool’s poor performance, but because Madrid is the highest level, that’s the top.” — Péter Halmosi, via *Blikk*
Halmosi stressed that Szoboszlai should not leave “right away,” but made clear that Madrid is a step above any other opportunity. Hungarian reports state the midfielder is “high on the Blancos’ wish list” following his performances across multiple roles for Liverpool this season.
Real Madrid links intensify
Recent reports in Spain and Hungary paint Madrid’s interest as serious rather than speculative. Although some English sources have downplayed the possibility of a January move, other indications suggest Madrid are assessing midfielder profiles for the next cycle — especially those who combine defensive work-rate with line-breaking ball progression. Szoboszlai fits that mould perfectly.
Liverpool’s crisis makes the situation more delicate. Although Slot insists the dressing room remains united, the team’s performances tell a different story. Szoboszlai has been deployed everywhere from right-back to central midfield as injuries and tactical reshuffles mount.
How Szoboszlai has stood out during Liverpool’s collapse
Despite the chaos around him, the midfielder continues to produce high-intensity runs, progressive carries and ball recoveries. Having followed Liverpool closely this season, it’s clear he has become the emotional engine of the side. His adaptability has been both a blessing and a curse — invaluable to the team, yet pulled into roles that limit his creativity.
Blikk emphasised that he “played with his usual energy” despite the PSV defeat, raising the question of whether his ceiling is being restricted by Liverpool’s current instability.
Could a Liverpool exit become realistic?
In our view, Liverpool’s situation does not immediately push Szoboszlai toward the exit door. Because he is one of the club’s few consistent performers, he remains central to any rebuild. Although some Hungarian voices are urging him to consider Real Madrid, other indications suggest he is committed to the project — provided there is clarity on managerial and sporting direction.
Still, it’s worth questioning how long an ambitious player will tolerate instability. Szoboszlai’s talent demands Champions League football. If Liverpool fail to reach the top four, the conversation shifts from theoretical to practical. Historically, Madrid have moved aggressively for multi-functional midfielders entering their peak years.
Another nuance rarely discussed is Liverpool’s financial stance. While the club prefer not to sell marquee players, a major bid could trigger strategic decisions, especially if the sporting structure undergoes more changes.
