ο»ΏLiverpool is about to take a surprising action. The price of a trade for Wataru Endo has now been made public, and it is moving swiftly.
The 30-year-old Endo was not the third player Liverpool fans expected them to sign this summer, but all indications are that he will do so soon.
The captain of Stuttgart has been given permission to go to Merseyside to complete a move, according to The Athletic. The Reds responded quickly to their last two setbacks.
According to David Ornstein, the cost is estimated to be around β¬19 million (Β£16.24 million) by German sources. The player’s contract in Germany still had one year to run.
Since negotiations are already advanced, it’s expected that this agreement will be completed swiftly, and Endo will join Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister as summer hires.
It might not be obvious at first glance why the club made this decision. However, it makes sense if they wish to replace the lost leadership and expertise.
German analysts laud Endo for being tough, energizing, and disciplined as the current leader of his club and his nation.
This can be considered as a wise decision by the team as long as they also sign a younger, better defensive player who is available to play right away.
Despite not having as many miles on his knees as James Milner, Fabinho, or Jordan Henderson, the 30-year-old can fill the void left by them.
He possesses the adaptability Jurgen Klopp seeks, since he can play as a center back as well as a defensive midfielder. There will be a test on Thursday, so it appears like Klopp will have his way.
According to Sky in Italy, Sofyan Amrabat’s potential transfer to Liverpool and Fiorentina has also been discussed with third parties.
