“He can leave if he wants to…” – Arne Slot ruthlessly opens the door for Wataru Endo’s EXIT as Liverpool line up £62.5m Premier League star to replace him! 🔥
Liverpool’s summer rebuild has taken a ruthless twist after manager Arne Slot openly admitted that he is ready to part ways with midfielder Wataru Endo. In a brutally honest statement that stunned fans, Slot said:
“He can leave if he wants to, we already have a replacement ready for him and besides he’s not giving me what I want from him.”
The 31-year-old Japanese international, who arrived at Anfield just a year ago, has worked hard to win over supporters with his tireless work ethic. But Slot’s words leave no doubt—Endo is not part of his long-term vision for Liverpool.

🚨 Endo out, £62.5m Premier League star in
Liverpool are now preparing a £62.5 million bid for a Premier League midfield dynamo as Endo’s replacement. The new target is said to be a younger, more dynamic player who can anchor the midfield while driving the high-intensity pressing game that Slot demands.
Insiders claim negotiations are already advancing, with the Reds keen to finalize the deal before rivals swoop in. The message is clear: Endo’s time at Anfield may be coming to an abrupt end.

⚡ Why Slot is moving on from Endo
Endo was seen as a stopgap signing last summer after Liverpool’s failed pursuits of Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia. While he proved reliable in certain matches, Slot believes he lacks the pace, physicality, and tactical sharpness needed to dominate Premier League midfields week in, week out.
Slot’s pressing philosophy requires a midfield general who can cover ground relentlessly, distribute sharply, and command transitions—qualities he feels Endo cannot deliver consistently.

🔥 Fans react to Slot’s bombshell
The revelation has split the fanbase. Some believe Slot is being unnecessarily harsh on Endo, praising his professionalism and leadership. Others agree that Liverpool must look forward, not backward, if they want to challenge Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League title.
One fan wrote: “Endo gave everything for the badge, but if Slot thinks he’s not enough, then we have to trust the process.” Another added: “Cold statement from Slot, but maybe this is the ruthless edge we’ve been missing.”

📝 The future of Liverpool’s midfield
If Endo departs, Liverpool’s midfield will undergo yet another transformation. With Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Curtis Jones already in place, Slot wants a true defensive midfield powerhouse to complete his system.
The £62.5m incoming star is expected to be unveiled soon, and when that happens, it could mark the end of Endo’s short but memorable spell at Anfield.
