In another story, FI have reported that the Reds are ready to offload Japanese play breaker, Endo, if they secure a replacement this summer.

The news source have mentioned that the Merseysiders are pushing to lure Zubimendi, who is expected to be the first choice No.6 should he move to Anfield.

Liverpool have already turned down an offer from Marseille for Endo but will welcome his sale if Zubimendi is secured.

Last summer, the 19-time English champions agreed a record deal to sign Moises Caicedo, but the Ecuadorian opted to move to Chelsea instead.

Moreover, the Reds even agreed a deal to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton but he also decided to join the Stamford Bridge outfit.

With time running out in the window, Liverpool opted to snap up Endo from Stuttgart as a make-shift replacement for world class DM, Fabinho.

The £71,000 a week star played a key role in helping us get back into the Champions League but the veteran is already past his prime and now is the time to sign a proper No.6 for Arne Slot.

Have your say – Should Liverpool sell Endo if they manage to sign Zubimendi before deadline?
