Wataru Endo: Liverpool is contemplating a sale for €18 million

Liverpool are not dismissing the possibility of selling Wataru Endo in the January transfer window.

The Japanese midfielder has found himself in a secondary role under Arne Slot, with clubs like AC Milan already showing interest in acquiring him.

Wataru Endo has played a mere 166 minutes so far this season.

The 31-year-old has struggled to earn the full confidence of Arne Slot, who has only called upon him in eight official matches to date.

Aware of his situation, the player has already begun to consider the possibility of a change of scenery.

Although his contract with the Reds runs until June 2027, the midfielder would be open to joining a new team during the next winter transfer window.

Cost and competition for Wataru Endo

The club is also receptive to his potential departure.

According to recent reports from Caught Offside, the board is willing to consider offers in the range of €15 to €18 million, which is close to the €20 million they paid to sign him from Stuttgart in the summer of 2023.

With the asking price set, it remains to be seen whether any of his suitors will decide to take action.

AC Milan , Fulham, Celtic, Wolverhampton and Ipswich have all shown interest, but it is not known whether they are willing to spend such a sum on the Japanese international (65 matches, four goals).
