Liverpool is ‘ready’ to trade Wataru Endo on one condition as Premier League opponents ‘eye’ star

Liverpool is ‘ready’ to trade Wataru Endo, but only if they can make their Premier League opponents ‘eye’ star

Wataru Endo and Joe Gomez updates are included in the most recent Liverpool transfer rumours and news. The only Premier League team still without a confirmed summer addition is Liverpool.

Time is running out, as the window is scheduled to end in three weeks. This afternoon, Arne Slot’s team will play Las Palmas and Sevilla in their final two friendlies.

After their participation in the Copa America and the Euro 2024, the senior players who have returned to preseason will be available for selection by the Dutch head coach.

Slot will have one more friendly to work on any necessary changes before starting their Premier League campaign at Ipswich Town on Saturday, August 17. Having said that, the ECHO has examined the most recent Anfield news.

Joe Gomez considered 

Aston Villa is reportedly fond of Joe Gomez as a possible addition to strengthen their defence, according to a recent HITC report. Villa is thinking about what to do if Diego Carlos leaves this summer.

Fulham made a transfer bid to the Brazilian, but it was rejected; still, he is still expected to leave. To replace Carlos, Villa has a few choices, including Gomez and Lutsharel Geertruida of Feyenoord.

After serving as a stand-in for Jurgen Klopp in his last season at Anfield, he has gained the attention of several Premier League opponents due to his versatility. Gomez, a centre back by trade, has frequently stepped in at right back as well. During the injury-plagued season, he even played left back in place of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

Liverpool ready to sell Wataru Endo

According to Football Insider, Liverpool would be open to selling Wataru Endo provided they could get Martin Zubimendi to take his place. This summer, as the team looks to make their first signing, the latter has emerged as a key target for Arne Slot and Co.

The decision to bolster their number six alternatives in advance of the Premier League season led to the identification of the Spain international. The sporting director of Liverpool, Richard Hughes, is negotiating the terms of the move with his Spanish colleagues. Hughes has a £52 million (€60 million) release clause in his contract.

Even though Liverpool has already rejected a £12 million bid from Marseille for Endo, there are rumours that if Zubimendi is signed, his departure will be welcomed.
