Japanese midfielder Wataru Endo joined Liverpool from Stuttgart in the summer of 2023 via Sint-Troiden, and the veteran midfielder, who is under contract until 2027, has not been a regular this season, but has been introduced late in games to play a closing role.
However, Liverpool have not given up on securing a defensive midfielder, as they came close to landing Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi during the transfer window last summer. Interest in a number of midfielders has been discussed and they may be looking to sign a new player for next season.
According to German outlet BILD, Eintracht Frankfurt, who are competing for a Champions League place in the Bundesliga this season, have expressed interest in the 32-year-old defensive midfielder, who could be reduced further, and are likely to make a move for him if he confirms his rights to the competition.
They are in a battle for the top four places with teams such as Mainz, RB Leipzig and Freiburg, and although they are only a few points behind, they still have a good chance to win the competition.
They released ace Omar Marmoush this winter, and their strength will be reduced towards the second half of the season.
On the other hand, the Japanese midfielder had a background of offers from Marseille last summer, and if a new midfielder joins the midfield, the veteran midfielder could be sold for a new era.
Will the Yokohama midfielder, who can also play at centre-back, leave Liverpool next season to play in the Bundesliga again? Or will he continue playing at Anfield?
