Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai reacts to Cristiano Ronaldo’s message
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has reacted to a message shared by Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Hungary international helped Arne Slot’s men win the Premier League title last season by notching six goals and six assists in the top-flight.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo proved he can still produce the goods at the top level by scoring for Portugal during their UEFA Nations League final triumph over Spain on 8 June.
Szoboszlai will hope to remain a key player for Liverpool next season, as Slot aims to win more silverware for the Merseyside giants.

Football Insider verdict
Szoboszlai could be set for a new role at Anfield next season
Having raced to the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield with a squad predominantly compiled by Jurgen Klopp, Slot is now vying to further bolster his ranks this summer.

The Reds have already signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, while Liverpool continue to close in on Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz enjoyed a stellar Bundesliga campaign with Leverkusen last term and could be set to feature as Slot’s main attacking midfielder next season.
The 22-year-old’s arrival will likely mean that Szoboszlai will instead compete alongside the likes of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister for a deeper midfield role, with the Germany international occupying the ‘number 10’ spot.
Such a change in role could help Liverpool get the best out of Szoboszlai, after the Hungary international scored just six goals in 36 Premier League appearances.
Meanwhile, Wirtz notched a more impressive return of 16 goals and 14 assists across all competitions for Leverkusen last term.
