Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo is drawing significant interest during the January transfer window, according to sources close to the situation reported by *CaughtOffside*.
The Japanese international, who has struggled for regular playing time under manager Arne Slot, is reportedly “unhappy” with his limited role at Anfield and open to exploring a move this month.
Despite being a reliable and capable squad player for Liverpool, Endo’s frustration with his lack of starts is understandable.
Fulham is among the clubs considering a move for the 31-year-old before the window closes, while Wolves, Ipswich Town, AC Milan, and Celtic are also monitoring his availability.
Wataru Endo’s Potential Departure
Liverpool faces a dilemma regarding Endo’s future. While he remains a valuable option for squad rotation, particularly in a demanding season, keeping a dissatisfied player may not be ideal.
Sources suggest Liverpool could entertain offers in the range of €12-15 million, which would represent a reasonable return given Endo’s age.
However, the club would need to find a suitable replacement to avoid overloading players like Ryan Gravenberch during a packed fixture schedule.
For now, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will prioritize keeping Endo as a rotational option or cash in on his departure and bolster their midfield depth with a new signing.
