At the Reds, Endo is still under contract until 2027. After he was still playing a lot under Jürgen Klopp, who won him from VfB Stuttgart in 2023 for 20 million euros in 2023, his time in the field under Arne Slot has decreased significantly. In order not to endanger the season goals, however, a departure of the former captain of the Swabians and the captain of the national team was excluded.
At Eintracht, according to the newspaper, Endo could take on Mahmoud Dahoud (29) squad, which only plays a subordinate role. In addition to the coveted Hugo Larsson (20) and after a long injury Oscar Højlund (20), Endo would then form an experienced counterweight together with Ellyes Skhiri.
TM-UNER Disested: Endo’s age and costs as a point of discussion
“In the end, a question of the transfer,” says TM user “Bruchibert” in the rumor mill. “In Frankfurt you have had excellent experiences with Japanese in high football. In addition, a leader in midfield is missing. Since you unsuccessfully dragged on last year, you don’t seem to be afraid of old professionals in this position. So this idea is not completely unrealistic, but as already written above, a question of money.”
The situation is different: “I am not a friend, it doesn’t get younger and it is economically nonsensical to buy him. (…) Whether he will bring the sporting aspect next season that you want here on the Main, is very questionable. Liverpool let ends over the table, 20 million for a 30-year-old. His experience is always remarkable, but Eintracht will not be able to justify these risk factors/factors.
