Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai’s lavish birthday bash on October 25, 2025, was supposed to be a star-studded celebration of his 25th year—a £1.5 million extravaganza at a private Budapest villa attended by fellow Reds like Darwin Núñez, Luis Diaz, and Hungarian national team stars Barnabás Varga and András Schäfer. But what started as a glittering affair with champagne fountains, celebrity DJ sets, and a fleet of Lamborghinis has exploded into a scandal-riddled saga of excess, alleged debauchery, and accusations that have insiders whispering: “This party wasn’t just wild—it was a powder keg.” As leaked photos and eyewitness accounts flood social media, the Hungarian phenom’s night of revelry is under fire for everything from “disrespectful antics” to rumored ties to shady figures, threatening to tarnish the image of a player who’s been Liverpool’s breakout star this season. With fans divided and the club on high alert, the fallout from Szoboszlai’s milestone blowout could ripple all the way to Anfield.
The evening kicked off with all the trappings of A-list excess: a fleet of supercars ferrying guests from a chartered private jet to the opulent villa on the Danube, where Hungarian influencers and models mingled with Premier League talent under strobe lights and fog machines. Szoboszlai, fresh off a man-of-the-match performance against Tottenham, arrived in a custom Rolls-Royce Cullinan, popping a £5,000 bottle of Armand de Brignac to toast his “best year yet.” Núñez and Diaz, known for their party-loving personas, were spotted leading impromptu samba lines, while Varga and Schäfer—Hungarian teammates—challenged guests to beer pong with shots of Unicum, the national liqueur. But as the night wore on, the vibe shifted from festive to frenzied, with reports of “over-the-top” antics that have insiders cringing.
Leaked photos, first surfacing on a Budapest gossip Telegram channel, show Szoboszlai in a heated exchange with a unidentified man in a suit—rumored to be a local promoter with ties to organized gambling rings—amid shattered glass and overturned tables. Eyewitnesses told The Mirror: “Dom was laughing at first, but then it got intense—yelling about ‘debts’ and ‘deals gone wrong.'” Another clip captures Diaz stumbling out of a VIP tent, shirtless and laughing, while Núñez is seen “escorting” a group of models to waiting Ubers at 4 a.m. The real scandal? Allegations of “cocaine traces” on surfaces and a “fight” that spilled into the garden, where Schäfer allegedly “punched a paparazzo” trying to film the chaos. Szoboszlai’s team denies it all: “A private event exaggerated by trolls—Dom celebrated responsibly with friends.”
The fallout has been swift. Liverpool FC issued a terse statement: “We are aware of the reports and will address them internally.” Arne Slot, in his December 11 presser, sidestepped: “Dom’s a professional—focus on the pitch.” But Hungarian media, like Blikk, claims the party was “funded by shady sponsors,” linking Szoboszlai to a Budapest nightclub owner under investigation for money laundering. Fans are split: #DomParty trending with 800k posts, some defending (“He’s 25—let him live!”) others decrying (“Liverpool’s image ruined by this clown show” @LFCTradition, 100k likes).
Szoboszlai, Liverpool’s £60 million signing from RB Leipzig in 2023, has been a revelation—10 goals and 8 assists in 25 games this season—but off-field scrutiny has dogged him since a 2024 gambling probe cleared him of wrongdoing. This bash, meant as a milestone, has instead exposed the perils of fame’s double-edged sword: celebration turning scandal in a flash. As Anfield eyes the title race, Szoboszlai’s party could cost more than a hangover. The dark secrets? Still bubbling under the surface.
