InterLive.it reports that Inter Milan is interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo.
The Japanese player has seen limited action this season under new manager Arne Slot. The changes following Jurgen Klopp’s departure have significantly affected Endo’s role, with Slot indicating that he is not part of his plans.
Ryan Gravenberch’s rise has also impacted Endo’s situation, as Gravenberch has secured his position in the lineup. Endo has only made two brief appearances in the league this season, as Liverpool has climbed to the top of the standings, winning six of their seven matches without his involvement.
Now, with Inter Milan’s interest, Endo may be permitted to leave as the Serie A team seeks to bolster their midfield, viewing him as a suitable option despite his age.
A departure from Liverpool seems essential for Wataru Endo to revive his career, as he has no future at Anfield under manager Arne Slot.
Liverpool had shown interest in signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad during the summer transfer window, but the Euro 2024 winner turned down the move at the last minute.
Endo clearly does not fit into Slot’s plans, reflecting the manager’s preferences for the type of midfielder he wants. Slot likely wants to retain Endo until he secures a suitable replacement to back up first-choice midfielder Gravenberch.
Eventually, Inter Milan or another club will likely approach Liverpool for Endo, and the Reds would be open to letting him go. As one midfielder may depart, another could join the team, as Slot considers bringing back a former player.
