Wataru Endo has been identified as a potential option for a role that Liverpool fans would rather not see him take on, according to a report.

Wataru Endo has become a cult hero at Liverpool, with many fans hoping he remains at the club next season.

However, Florian Plettenberg reports on X that Eintracht Frankfurt has inquired about the 32-year-old midfielder. While Endo is considered a potential summer target for the Bundesliga side, other options are also being evaluated. Liverpool is reportedly open to letting him leave, but for now, Frankfurt does not see the move as a priority due to financial constraints.

Endo has earned widespread praise, particularly during the recent international break, and has proven to be a reliable presence for Liverpool whenever called upon. His performances have strengthened his bond with both the club’s supporters and fans in his home country of Japan.

His growing influence at Liverpool is evident, especially under Arne Slot, who seems to value his ability to close out games. Given his success in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart, it’s no surprise that German clubs admire his qualities. While a move to Frankfurt appears possible, many Liverpool fans will find it difficult to accept.
