“I believe that final pre-season sport, all of us knew as gamers after we had been taking part in, in case you are within the staff in that final standout pre-season sport, then you have got an excellent likelihood of taking part in.
“It appeared like he had Gravenberch in that quantity six place, it is going to be fascinating who he places there if he will get the signing that he needs from Actual Sociedad over the road earlier than then.
“I believe the standout factor for me, by way of the holding midfield place, the truth that we put in a bid for a participant and in addition the supervisor has performed each single participant in that position, besides Endo. I do know he performed him in the beginning of the tour of America. Was that in opposition to Betis? I didn’t see the sport, however I noticed some experiences that he discovered it tough. I believe Endo will go. I’m fairly assured of that. It virtually appears like he’s fully the other of what he (Slot) needs in that position. It doesn’t imply that he’s a foul participant. It simply signifies that when a supervisor needs to play a barely totally different kind of sport, techniques or set-up. I believe he’ll play nearly everyone there as a substitute of Endo truly – that’s why I believe he’ll transfer on.”
Liverpool’s curiosity in Zubimendi made it clear that Endo doesn’t have the boldness of the supervisor.
The participant was signed by Jurgen Klopp final summer time when he didn’t signal Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
Liverpool have to seek out one other answer to midfield drawback
When Endo was signed, he was seen as a brief time period answer to Liverpool’s issues.

Slot needed Zubimendi in that place, somebody who can move the ball and management the tempo of the sport however now that the Spaniard has rejected a transfer to Anfield, the Reds must deal with different targets.
