Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly leading the race to sign Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo. Wolves have shown their interest in the 31-year-old, recognizing him as a promising addition to their midfield lineup. It is understood that Liverpool are willing to allow the Japan international to leave this winter, as he has lost his place under manager Arne Slot. Liverpool have valued him at between €15-18 million (£12.5-15 million).
Liverpool is contemplating the possibility of Wataru Endo leaving in the January transfer window because of his limited opportunities and visibility in the team. Although he is experienced and dedicated, Endo has struggled to secure a place in Arne Slot's plans. Several Premier League clubs, such as Wolverhampton, have shown interest in signing him, viewing him as a player capable of bringing balance and discipline to the midfield. The upcoming months will be vital in deciding his future and role in the latter part of the season.
Liverpool could reportedly accept a January offer for Wataru Endo if they make a signing of their own. The club is open to offers amid interest from AC Milan, Celtic, Fulham, Ipswich, and Wolves. A report stated that Liverpool would be happy to receive, at the highest, €18million (£15m/$19m) for Endo. However, there are conflicting reports regarding his potential exit.
Wataru Endo is wanted by three Premier League clubs, including Wolves. Since the arrival of manager Arne Slot, Endo has played just two times in the 2024/25 season and has slid down the pecking order. However, Endo has hinted he wants to stay and fight for his place.
Wolves is reportedly interested in prising Wataru Endo away from Liverpool in January due to his limited playing time.
