Liverpool is about to do something unexpected. Wataru Endo’s trade price has officially been made public, and things are moving quickly.

Although the 30-year-old Endo wasn’t the third player Liverpool fans anticipated the team would sign this summer, all signs point to his doing so shortly.

According to The Athletic, the Stuttgart captain has been given clearance to travel to Merseyside in order to finalise a transfer. After their previous two losses, the Reds recovered swiftly.

David Ornstein claims that German sources have estimated the price to be around €19 million (£16.24 million). The player still has one year left on his contract with Germany.

It is anticipated that this agreement would be promptly finalized given how far along the negotiations are, and Endo will join Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai as summer employees.

It may not be immediately clear why the club chose this choice. But if they want to replace the lost leadership and knowledge, that makes sense.

Endo is the current leader of his team and his country, and German analysts admire him for being tough, motivating, and disciplined.

As long as they also sign a younger, better defensive player who is available to play right away, the team made a great choice in doing this.

The 30-year-old can fill the vacuum left by James Milner, Fabinho, or Jordan Henderson despite not having as many miles on his knees as they have.

He has the flexibility Jurgen Klopp is looking for because he can play as a defensive midfielder or a center back. On Thursday, there will be a test, so it seems like Klopp will have his way.

Sofyan Amrabat’s probable transfer to Liverpool and Fiorentina has reportedly also been discussed with outside parties, according to Sky in Italy.
