Wataru Endo‘s Liverpool future is doubtful however the Japanese worldwide is reportedly decided to remain at Anfield regardless of hyperlinks away from the membership.
Endo proved himself to be a precious participant below Jurgen Klopp final season. Nonetheless, it appears his standing on the membership has modified with the arrival of Arne Slot.
The 31-year-old began the Dutchman’s first sport of pre-season towards Actual Betis however struggled to comply with the rhythm of the sport and was substituted at half-time.
His less-than-impressive exhibiting noticed him demoted to the bench in Liverpool’s subsequent two matches with Slot experimenting with Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch as potential No. 6 options.
Now information has damaged about Liverpool’s curiosity in Martin Zubimendi with the membership seeking to pull off the 25-year-old midfielder’s signing from Actual Sociedad.
Zubimendi’s arrival would solid much more doubts about the way forward for Endo in Liverpool’s midfield. Nonetheless, it appears that evidently the Japanese worldwide is open to staying on the membership and combating for his place.
In response to Liverpool journalist David Lynch, Endo is comfortable to remain on Merseyside and proceed to struggle for his place within the aspect.
“It’s my understanding, regardless of the actual fact Liverpool are chasing reinforcements in Endo’s place, he’s nonetheless completely decided to remain in Liverpool and struggle for his place,” the journalist mentioned on his YouTube channel.

Which golf equipment have expressed an curiosity in Endo?
As beforehand reported by The Athletic, Marseille have had a bid rejected for Endo within the area of €14 million which is roughly round £12 million.
It stays to be seen whether or not Marseille will return to check the Reds’ resolve in the direction of the top of the window however at this stage, that state of affairs is trying unlikely.
Liverpool understandably need a increased payment for a participant who confirmed his value final season and who’s a global captain for the Japanese nationwide group. However whether or not there shall be any extra curiosity in Endo is moot at this level.
Why it is sensible to maintain Endo
Even with the arrival of Zubimendi, Liverpool would nonetheless be fairly quick within the holding midfield division.
Whereas the likes of Szoboszlai and Jones could have impressed whereas being experimented in that function in pre-season – they’re each naturally extra suited to play increased up the pitch as No. 8s.
Alexis Mac Allister is one other potential possibility for the function however there have been occasions final season when he struggled within the place and he performed significantly better when getting used additional ahead by Klopp.
Given the state of play within the Liverpool squad having Endo round might develop into pretty helpful.
Zubimendi can’t be anticipated to play each sport subsequent season – there shall be occasions when Slot might want to name on a deputy.
