Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club, who have set their asking price.
Wataru Endo is frustrated with the lack of game time this season, and he would be willing to leave Liverpool in the coming months. According to a report by Caught Offside, the Reds are ready to sanction his departure, and they have set a very modest asking price for the Japanese international.
According to the report, Liverpool would be willing to sell him for just €15-18 million. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to provide him with an exit route. Multiple clubs across Europe are keen on him, including Serie A outfit AC Milan.
Wataru Endo could prove to be a quality acquisition for them. The 31-year-old has impressed in the Premier League with his work rate, discipline, attitude, and tenacity. He could prove to be a very useful acquisition for AC Milan if they can get the deal done. The reported asking price is quite reasonable as well, and the Italian outfit should be able to afford him without any problems.
Can AC Milan get the deal done?
It will be interesting to see if Milan step up their pursuit of the player with an official proposal in the coming months. The 31-year-old needs to play more often at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at Liverpool is unlikely to benefit him.
Joining a big club like Milan will be an attractive opportunity for the Japanese international. He will look to prove himself in Italian football and help them win trophies. Apart from his qualities as a player, his leadership skills could prove to be invaluable as well.
It remains to be seen when Liverpool can get rid of the midfielder in January and invest the proceeds from his departure on a new signing. They need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park as well. Signing a younger defensive midfielder with more potential would be ideal for Liverpool. With the club and the player keen on an exit, a move seems like a matter of time now.
