    LIVERPOOL are still open minded to selling Wataru Endo - and Celtic are now monitoring the player.

    The Scottish champions are believed to be huge admirers of the midfielder who is thought to have slipped massively down the pecking order at Anfield.

    Marseille have already had a bid rejected for the player this summer.

    But they could go back in with a new offer before the window closes

    They are likely to face competition from Brendan Rogers who thinks securing Endo could help boost his side both domestically and in Europe.

    If there’s any truth in this it would have to be a loan deal I reckon. Would add some quality experience in the middle for the CL

    Would be unreal, but for the finances involved, I’d rather get Tapia on a free, and go ‘marquee signing money’ on a LB or CB.

    FWIW, I reckon this is nonsense though.

    Would have to be a loan deal I would imagine. Could this be Lawall's Marquee signing for 2024 ?

    It would certainly be a statement of intent for the Champions League.

    Surely nothing in this.
    Would be class tho! Only way I think there would be even a slight chance is if its a late loan and him knowing he'd have 4 or 5 fellow countrymen in the same team as a pull.

    I thought they really rated him, the fans did anyway.

    Would be unbelievable on a wee loan to buy.

    Might just mean we're ACTUALLY talking with Liverpool about a single player, and that's leaked but they're not sure who and are throwing * at the wall to see what sticks... Can't see it being a £15-20M player though, even on loan...

    Wataru Endo is class, but he is actually playing for them. Not a fringe player. We do have our own Japanese DM who Rodgers doesn't seem to rate, sadly.

    Sounds like a Japanese suppository.

    Only way I can see this one happening is if he's struggling to adjust to life over here, and Liverpool let him come here on loan so he can join a team with several Japanese players.

    Story is Slot doesn't rate him or at least doesnt suit his style of play.

    As someone who follows VfB Stuttgart closely, i can only dream of him in the Hoops! What a signing he would be absolutely huge for us! Absolute leader who came
    To Stuttgart in the 2nd Bundesliga after shaky start helped them promote, then kept them in the Bundesliga several times with his leadership advancing into the captain role! His transfer to Liverpool was a crown on his career, Stuttgart didnt even really haggle over the price. Tbf he isnt Liverpool quality, he was always a Klopp transfer. So now that he isnt there anymore.

    it would be huge, 31 would bring us huge experience too.

    Edit: he can play CB too!

    This window has been mental - going from one end of the extremes to the other.

    Would be class and for that reason it's not happening.
