Real Madrid Interested in Szoboszlai
With two years remaining on his contract, Szoboszlai’s market value is expected to be quite high—potentially reaching £100 million. However, this value is likely to diminish if he remains without a new agreement for an extended period.

This situation puts sporting director Hughes in a challenging position, balancing the need to secure Szoboszlai’s contract on Liverpool’s terms while also considering the possibility of selling him before his value declines significantly.
Madrid, under the guidance of Alvaro Arbeloa, is also looking to rebuild their midfield.
Recent reports from Fichajes indicate that a potential “win-win” swap deal involving Szoboszlai and a long-time Liverpool target could be on the table.
Could Liverpool Swap Szoboszlai for Rodrygo?
Rodrygo Goes, 25, has been part of Real Madrid since 2019, contributing to the club’s success with two Champions League titles and various other trophies.

However, the Brazilian has seen his playing time decrease this season, starting only six league matches before being sidelined by injury.
With his contract running until 2028, Rodrygo is unlikely to agree to a renewal while remaining a peripheral figure. The report suggests that Madrid could be receptive to discussions about a swap deal involving Rodrygo and Szoboszlai.
Would this be a beneficial move for Liverpool?
The club is actively seeking to acquire a new winger this summer, especially amid uncertainties surrounding Federico Chiesa and Mo Salah’s futures. Rodrygo would be a fitting addition in that regard, but Liverpool could also explore the option of acquiring even more valuable players from Madrid through a swap deal.
For instance, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni have caught the attention of Liverpool scouts and could effectively fill the gap left by Szoboszlai in midfield.
