After a setback at Old Trafford, focus quickly shifted to what lies ahead, but Dominik Szoboszlai was clear that Liverpool must stay locked in on the present before anything else.
Following the defeat, there has been growing speculation about possible summer changes, especially with several expected departures already looming. Speaking via Liverpoolfc.com, Szoboszlai addressed both the immediate situation and the bigger picture.
He said: “First, I don’t focus on next season – my focus is on these three games because we have a lot of things to achieve in a way that we want to play Champions League next season because Liverpool belongs there.”
The message highlights the priority right now: despite the loss, Champions League qualification is still in reach and remains the main objective.
He also added a remark that will likely resonate with fans and decision-makers: “Hopefully this team can stay together as much as is possible and from thereon we will see.” That comment comes amid increasing uncertainty around the squad heading into the summer.
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are both expected to leave, while questions remain over the futures of other key players, including Alisson Becker, with reports suggesting renewed doubt about his long-term stay.
There is also uncertainty around Alexis Mac Allister, with no contract talks currently underway, adding to the sense that a major transition could be approaching.
Against that backdrop, Szoboszlai’s stance feels even more significant. After a season already marked by inconsistency, losing too many experienced players at once could further disrupt stability.
His message is straightforward: finish strongly in the final three games, secure Champions League football, and only then turn attention to rebuilding from a position of strength.
With Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Brentford still to come, Liverpool’s best response is not distraction over the summer—but focus on delivering results now.
