Liverpool ‘eye £50m swap deal’ with Wataru Endo offered transfer opportunity

Live from Anfield, we’re bringing you the latest on Liverpool’s transfer activity. Antoine Semenyo, the 25-year-old striker from Bournemouth, is reportedly on Liverpool’s radar as the club braces for potential transfer bids this month. Semenyo’s strong performances for the Cherries this season have caught the attention of multiple Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United. However, Liverpool are said to be one of the front-runners for his signature.

In addition to Liverpool’s interest, a potential deal could be facilitated by Bournemouth’s reported pursuit of Ben Doak, currently on loan at Middlesbrough. The 19-year-old winger has impressed at the Riverside Stadium and could be part of a swap deal, according to reports from the Daily Star. Doak has also been attracting attention from other clubs, while Liverpool have already rejected offers from Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town for his services. Semenyo, valued at an estimated £50 million, may not make a move until the summer.

Meanwhile, Wataru Endo is another player whose future is being closely watched. The 31-year-old midfielder has attracted interest from several clubs, with Fulham reportedly considering a move. Other clubs such as Wolves, Ipswich Town, AC Milan, and Celtic are said to be monitoring his situation. Endo has had limited game time under manager Arne Slot, playing just 56 minutes in the Premier League this season. A fee of around £10-12 million could be enough to see the Japan international leave Anfield, according to reports.

After Liverpool’s FA Cup victory over Accrington Stanley, Endo spoke about his lack of minutes, saying: “I don’t get frustrated or anything like that, I always try to get ready to help the team. Of course I want to play every game but we need everyone in the squad. The players who don’t play constantly have played very well (against Accrington) so that is the most important thing for the team to achieve something. We need everybody so we need to get ready for every game that’s coming.”

That’s the latest from the transfer front, with both Semenyo and Endo making waves in the transfer market. Stay tuned for more updates!
