Wataru Endo’s Liverpool Career in Jeopardy as Clubs Circle
Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, is rumored to be open to selling midfielder Wataru Endo, according to recent reports. The 31-year-old Japanese international has struggled to break into the starting lineup this season, making only two appearances in the Premier League.
Despite his limited playing time, Endo has remained committed to the club, and in a recent interview, he expressed his confidence in getting more chances to prove himself. However, Slot’s comments suggest that Endo may be facing an uphill battle to regain his place in the team.
"We have many good midfielders, and it’s not always about the player himself, it’s also about the competition he faces," Slot said. "We are really pleased with the way Wata [Endo] is training for us, but he has some good competition and I think you saw today a good performance from all three midfielders."
The lack of playing time for Endo has led to speculation that he may be on his way out of Anfield. With a contract until 2027, Liverpool could potentially recoup a significant fee for the midfielder. Several clubs from across Europe are rumored to be interested in Endo, including Marseille, who were reportedly tracking him during the summer transfer window.
Endo’s situation is a classic example of the cutthroat nature of professional football. With so many talented midfielders vying for a place in the starting lineup, it’s no surprise that Endo is finding it tough to get consistent game time. However, his experience and quality could make him an attractive option for a number of clubs looking to bolster their midfield.
As Liverpool continues to push for major honors, it’s clear that Slot will be looking to strengthen his squad in various areas. Whether Endo is part of those plans remains to be seen. One thing is certain, though – the midfielder will need to continue working hard to prove himself and earn a regular spot in the team.
