With the summer transfer market fast approaching, rumours surround Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo’s future at the Merseyside team. Give Me Sport reports that Liverpool may be thinking about selling the Japanese international. He joined from VfB Stuttgart last summer and quickly established himself as a key player under Jurgen Klopp’s direction.
With his easy adjustment to Liverpool’s system, Endo has been a frequent starter. The Reds would not be the same without him, hence talks regarding the possible consequences of his departure have begun. Should Liverpool decide to let him go, they will have to find a qualified substitute to cover for him. It’s well known that Liverpool is desperate for a top defensive midfield player. They eventually decided on the Japanese maestro even though they had first been interested in Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. Endo should stay on while Liverpool adds another defensive midfielder, ideally a younger player with a lot of promise.
With a £50,000 weekly salary, Endo may turn into a perfect squad piece for Liverpool in the next season. Liverpool needs depth in their team above all else, particularly given the pressures of contending on many fronts. Two defensive veterans in the middle would be a calculated move for Klopp’s team. Still, if Liverpool chooses to split ways with Endo, there are plenty of other suitors waiting in the wings. Many teams seeking midfield reinforcements find him to be an attractive option because of his Premier League history and track record.
Liverpool Want To Sell This £50,000-a-week Midfielder In The Summer Transfer Window
Endo may be able to be purchased for a fair price given his age and Liverpool’s initial outlay, which would appeal to potential bidders. His next home is yet unknown, but the transfer story is about to start in the following months. As rumors about Endo grow, Liverpool also has to deal with Thiago Alcantara’s probable exit, who seems set to leave Anfield for free. With Klopp’s planned leave of absence, Liverpool will even more require a complete makeover in the next transfer window.
Endo’s possible exit from Liverpool, then, represents a turning point for the player and the club. The next several months look to be quite interesting as Klopp guides Liverpool through a time of change and the transfer market whirls.
Chelsea News
It seems like Chelsea and Newcastle United will square off in the battle to sign Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who will shortly be free. Chelsea has entered the race, aiming for the 26-year-old centre-back, claims renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. They won’t, however, have an easy road since Newcastle United is also interested in getting his skills.
Through his time at Fulham, Adarabioyo has shown consistency and dependability. Manchester-born, he moved to Fulham from Manchester City in October 2020. Ever then, he has been a rock solid member of their defense, becoming better every year. Over his four years with the West London club, Adarabioyo has made 132 appearances, scoring five goals and dishing out two assists. Though he has made contributions, his time at Fulham is coming to an end with the approaching summer transfer window, since in July he will become free agency. Newcastle United and Chelsea are two of the teams showing interest in this approaching him as a free agent.
