The 30-year-old player arrived this summer from Stuttgart

Liverpool had an interesting transfer window. The early arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai left a positive feeling among the club's fans. The addition of reinforcements brought hope to the Reds' fanbase, which had been disappointed by the previous season's results.

This motivation led the team to seek more players and invest in young talents to pave the way for new talent in the current squad. It was widely expected that Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, two standout figures at Brighton and Southampton, respectively, would join the team.

However, things took a turn for the worse as both players rejected moves to Anfield and opted to sign with Chelsea instead. This was a significant setback for Jurgen Klopp's team, forcing them to take drastic measures and find a midfielder with similar characteristics.

A player from the Bundesliga had been linked, and his arrival has since excited Liverpool fans.

The arrival of Wataru Endo

The arrival of the Japanese midfielder from Stuttgart saved Liverpool from spending over £190 million. Instead, they brought in Endo for £16 million, which was a significant relief for the club. This allowed them to calmly complete the signing of Ryan Gravenberch for £38.5 million. In the end, the club saved nearly £130 million on just two signings. So far, Endo's performances have lived up to Klopp's expectations, and it seems that the German manager has found tranquility in the Japanese midfielder.
