It wasn’t the deal any Liverpool followers had been anticipating to be introduced this week however Wataru Endo has arrived to supply some much-needed cowl in defensive midfield. Removed from being a family identify amongst British followers, Endo shall be anticipated to play a squad function which leaves the query on who shall be Liverpool’s beginning No 6.
Jurgen Klopp has already prompt that Liverpool aren’t accomplished within the switch window for incomings they usually’ve already proven their hand with their failed bid for Moises Caicedo. Liverpool shocked everybody once they got here in with a £111million bid for the midfielder final week solely to see their goal be part of Chelsea.
It is the form of cash that Liverpool have tried to not spend in switch home windows up to now. Huge cash has been spent on Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, however their bid for Caicedo blows these offers out of the water.
It was the type of cash Liverpool would have wanted to finish a deal for Jude Bellingham, though it was broadly reported that his wages had been the most important downside for the Reds. Nonetheless, that cash is clearly out there to Klopp ought to the appropriate goal turn into out there.
However that now brings into query Liverpool’s switch technique this summer season if homeowners FSG are prepared to sanction a file sum. Fabinho and Jordan Henderson’s shock exits have clearly added to that fund and Endo’s arrival barely scratches the floor.
Liverpool can pay £16m for the 30-year-old, leaving £95m out there from the cash they had been ready to pay for Caicedo. There are a bunch of midfield targets nonetheless being linked with Liverpool and that cash must be greater than sufficient to safe what they want.
