Dominik Szoboszlai takes a page out of Mo Salah's contract renewal playbook
Liverpool fans were treated to two pieces of contract news on Monday.
Stopping in the mixed zone following the first-ever Merseyside derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium both Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai spoke out on their respective futures.
Konate, 26, now appears certain to clinch a new contract with his previous deal due to expire in summer 2026. The Frenchman has been involved in protracted contract talks with the club for well over a year but there is finally white smoke over Anfield.

Szoboszlai future in doubt
The 25-year-old signed for the Reds back in 2023 on a Ā£60m deal from RB Leipzig. Having initially struggled to carve out an identity in the lineup Szoboszlai has finally become one of the main men for the Premier League champions.
The Hungarian has gone from strength to strength - stepping up as a leader this season under Arne Slot in very difficult circumstances.
And with a deal that runs until 2028 these are crucial times for Liverpool negotiators in tying the playmaker down for the long term.
Szoboszlai will be well aware of his worth in the market - with midfielders at rival clubs making far more than his reported Ā£150k per week salary.
He is entitled to ask Liverpool to meet his demands - secure in the knowledge that and potentially other leading European teams will offer him a home should his contract run down.
