He doesn't seem to follow luck to Japan's national team captain Endo Wataru. The possibility of a sale was also mentioned despite the failure to recruit replacements.

Britain's The Sun reported on the 14th that `Riverpool is still open to selling endos and Celtic are monitoring him.'

Endo is on the verge of leaving Liverpool after just one season this summer. The beginning was Endo's sluggishness and Martin Subimendi's transfer theory in the tactics pursued by manager Arne Slot.



Liverpool, which had initially been quiet in the summer transfer market, suddenly emerged as a candidate for the midfield recruitment. Leading media predicted Liverpool's recruitment of Subimendi is getting closer. Subimendi, a midfielder born in 1999, has already made his name on the European stage by helping Spain win the last Euro 2024 and has consistently been a key resource for Sociedad since the 2020-2021 season. He was greatly loved by fans for his movements and passes that reminded him of Xavi Alonso and Busquets. Liverpool, which wanted to reinforce its midfield, actively moved to pay for the buyout to recruit Subimendi.

However, contrary to expectations, the recruitment of Subimendi failed. David Onstein, a reporter for the global sports media The Athletic and the most trusted journalist, reported on the 13th that Liverpool's hopes of signing Martin Subimendi virtually disappeared as he remained at Real Sociedad. After the failure to recruit Subimendi, news spread that Liverpool had no plans to reinforce additional defensive midfielders, and Endo's next season seemed to be getting a green light again.



However, the failure to recruit Subimendi is not expected to be an opportunity for Endo. The Sun reportedly considers Ryan Hravenberg and Stefan Weissetich suitable players for defensive midfielder positions. Endo's future, which wants to play as the first team this season, has become uncertain. Marseille could come with an offer for Endo again, and Brendan Rodgers' Celtic could also compete. However, a transfer fee of 15 million pounds (about 26 billion won) may be a difficult amount for Celtic.

It was then reported that 'Liverpool is willing to sell Endo if it replaces it with Subimendi. However, they said there is still a possibility of selling Endo after the failure to sign Subimendi', referring to the possibility of selling Endo.



If Celtic, mentioned by Der Sun, not Marseille, embraces Endo, Endo will fall from the English Premier League (EPL) stage to the Scottish stage in just one season. Considering the fact that he played on the Bundesliga stage earlier, it is no different from leaving for a lower league in one season. Endo's appearance, which is on the verge of leaving after reducing the wall of the EPL stage, contrasts more with Son Heung-min, who has already endured nine seasons as a top player in the EPL.

Despite the failure to recruit Subimendi, Endo's position is greatly shaken and the possibility of selling is maintained. If he fails to change his mind as a slot manager, his performance in the Bundesliga and EPL is expected to be transferred to Scotland in an instant.
