Liverpool are on the brink of confirming Japan international Wataru Endo as their latest signing after agreeing transfer deal with Bundesliga side Stuttgart
Stuttgart admit they are "not thrilled" at the prospect of losing Wataru Endo as the Japan international prepares to complete a "dream" move to Liverpool.
Liverpool have made their move for the 30-year-old defensive midfielder having failed in their attempts to sign Brighton's Moises Caicedo and Southampton's Romeo Lavia following the exits of James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho this summer. "Wataru Endo has been cleared by the club for talks," said Hoeness, speaking at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
"From the club's point of view, we speak of an economically good package. From a sporting point of view, of course, I'm not thrilled. Wataru is an important player both athletically and personally. He's our captain. He has made 99 of 102 possible Bundesliga games. He was always there in important moments.”
