Liverpool’s big-money move for Florian Wirtz has prompted inevitable questions about how the record signing might impact the roles of established stars.
For Dominik Szoboszlai, though, there appears to be no concern.
Wirtz joins Liverpool as the most expensive player in British football history.
The versatile Germany international is comfortable in advanced midfield positions, especially the no.10 role Szoboszlai occupied under Arne Slot last season.
While Wirtz’s arrival signals intense competition, Szoboszlai’s camp remains unfazed.

Szoboszlai’s agent shares thoughts on Liverpool’s midfield competition
Speaking to Hungarian outlet m4sport, Szoboszlai’s agent Mátyás Esterházy made it clear they expect the midfielder to thrive.
“Dominik has been in an environment where competition is the norm since he was 16,” he said.
“I have never seen a Premier League-winning club that does not want to develop or sign top players.”
Esterházy emphasized that Wirtz’s signing reflects Liverpool’s ambition to strengthen rather than sideline their existing talents.
“I am sure that they will be together on the pitch in some form,” he explained.
“One of the best coaches in the world is sitting on the Liverpool bench. He has much more information than I do. I trust that Dominik will jump at this step and become increasingly successful with the constantly developing team.”
Szoboszlai delivered an impressive first campaign under Slot, often linking play between midfield and attack.
As Liverpool’s spending continues, already near £200 million this summer, he will look to keep his place and grow alongside a squad built to compete on every front.
