Despite the interest of prestigious Bundesliga clubs in the upcoming summer, predictions have emerged that it will be difficult for Japanese national team captain Endo Wataru to complete the transfer.
Japan's HigashspoWeb shed light on Endo's transfer situation on the 1st (Korea time) 'Will Eintracht Frankfurt withdraw from the battle for transfer to Wataru Endo?'
Endo is going through a difficult time in Liverpool this season. Jurgen Klopp, who led Endo's recruitment, left and entered the Arne Slot system, completely losing his position in the team. Endo, who had only one game in Liverpool and a minute in the league before the September A-match, was not included in the slot manager's plan.

By September, Endo had also expressed confidence. I expected to participate in the A-match in September and get a chance. Endo added: "At the end of the A-match period, we will get more opportunities as the games follow. If there are more games, only 11 players cannot be used. I'm sure my turn will come. I trained well, and I'm not worried."
The situation has not changed much. In 2025, only three games were started by Endo, and none of them were league games or European Champions League games. He played in the league for 138 minutes in 14 games. It was a devastating figure to predict Endo's position.
Liverpool have considered selling Endo. Immediately, interest also appeared. Frankfurt, the prestigious Bundesliga where Endo played along with Wolverhampton and Celtic, also showed interest. Frankfurt is one of the strongest Bundesliga teams in the league again this season, and Endo is also expected to be the most likely team among the options to transfer. It is also attractive that even if you leave Liverpool, you can consistently participate in the European competition.

However, with the prediction that Frankfurt will not actively recruit Endo, Endo's hopes for a transfer are on the verge of being dampened. HigashspoWeb admits Frankfurt showed interest in Endo, according to leading journalist Florian Flettenberg. However, Endo is not a priority for Frankfurt. The reason is that the overall demand for the endo is still too high'
Liverpool is reportedly demanding up to 20 million euros (about 31 billion won) for Endo's transfer fee. For Frankfurt, it is already an out-of-electric resource, and it seems that it is too much to invest the transfer fee in Endo, who has entered the age of 32. HigashspoWeb assessed 'Francroft is likely to be withdrawn because it is a difficult amount to pay'
Endo is in a situation where it is not easy to leave Liverpool. Attention is also focusing on whether the captain of the Japanese national team will be able to rebound by taking other transfer opportunities this summer.
