Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has several things to consider as the club head into a crucial winter transfer window in the middle of a season.
The Reds sit at the summit of the Premier League table and some fans believe that a few additions in the January window could go a long way in ensuring that Arne Slot wins the league in his first season at Anfield.
Liverpool have plans to sign a midfielder and a defender in the winter window and the club are working towards identifying definitive qualities targets who are willing to move in the middle of the season.
However, the club are also aware that they could need to sell a few players as well, to not only raise funds but to make space in their wage bill and squad for new signings.
A few players’ futures at Anfield are on the line ahead of the winter window and it seems one of them is prepared to push for a move in the January transfer window.
Star wants January move away from Anfield
Wataru Endo’s future at Liverpool has been under the scanner for months as he has struggled to get any sort of regular game time under Slot this season.
It emerged that Liverpool have been planning to sell him in January as part of their plot to bring in a new defensive midfielder in the winter window.
For the moment, it seems the feeling is mutual as according to CaughtOffSide, Endo also wants to part ways from Liverpool in the winter window.
He wants to play more football and doesn’t see how he fits into Slot’s plans this season who has preferred other players over the Japanese international.
Can you name the club Liverpool sold these players to?
The 31-year-old is keen to move on from Anfield and several clubs across Europe and the Premier League are interested in getting their hands on him,
Serie A giants AC Milan are firm admirers of the player and are considering doing a deal to sign him in the winter transfer window.
Celtic, Fulham, Wolves, and Ipswich are also amongst the clubs who have their eyes on Endo ahead of the transfer window opening in January.
Liverpool are likely to accept offers in the region of €15m to €18m for the midfielder.
