Wataru Endo is reportedly “allowed to leave” Liverpool this summer, while updates have emerged regarding two rumoured Reds transfer targets.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg on X, Eintracht Frankfurt have “enquired” about signing Endo in the summer.
The Japanese is “allowed to leave” Liverpool at the end of the season, even though his current Reds deal doesn’t expire until 2027.
That said, Endo is “not a priority” for Frankfurt, with the 32-year-old deemed to be an “expensive” option for the Bundesliga side.
While the midfielder hasn’t been a key starter for Liverpool, his experience off the bench has been invaluable, so retaining him arguably makes more sense than selling.
