Endō Confirms: Teammate Rejects Liverpool’s Offer, Set to Join City for £60 Million
In a recent press conference, Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endō revealed that his attempts to convince his international teammate to move to Liverpool had failed. Despite Endō’s efforts, the player has opted to sign with Manchester City in the upcoming transfer window.
“I did everything I could to persuade him to come to Liverpool, but it seems he has already made up his mind,” Endō said, confirming the player’s decision.
The highly-coveted player is set to move to City for a reported £60 million transfer fee, marking a significant win for the club in the competitive race for top Premier League talent.
Liverpool had been keen to add the talented international to their ranks as they looked to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. However, it appears that the appeal of Manchester City’s project, alongside the financial package on offer, was too strong to turn down.
This move will likely have a major impact on the Premier League landscape, as City further enhances its already powerful squad. For Liverpool, the focus now shifts to identifying new targets to fill the gap and boost their competitiveness.
Endō’s honest admission underscores the fierce nature of the transfer market, where even the best efforts can be outmatched by the appeal of rival clubs and lucrative offers.
With the transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on how Liverpool and Manchester City adjust their strategies in response to this significant transfer.
