Report: Liverpool midfielder ‘certain’ to leave in 2027
Wataru Endo Liverpool Future: January Exit Uncertainty Grows Over £16m MidfielderLiverpool are again confronting uncomfortable questions around squad direction after a start that has left them fifth ...
Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo appears certain to depart the club in 2027, according to recent reports. The 33-year-old, who joined Liverpool for £16 million in 2023, has been a reliable and versatile player, often stepping in during difficult moments. However, with Liverpool currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, similar to the position that led to Arne Slot's dismissal, questions have arisen about the club's squad direction.
Endo's contract expires next summer, and while no renewal talks have been reported for him, Alisson or Virgil van Dijk, his future remains uncertain. The club may decide to trim wage commitments and reshape the age profile, potentially creating space for his departure. If there is a market for Endo in the January transfer window, Liverpool may see it as the optimal time to act.
His departure could be a clean exit, allowing him to play regularly elsewhere, considering his professional conduct and the values he embodies. Despite not being one of Liverpool's great midfielders, Endo has contributed significantly through hard work, honesty, and dedication.
