According to the Liverpool Echo, Endo Reiterated his determination to stay in the team in an interview.
It is reported that although Japanese international Endo Kazuki has few chances to play under Slot this season, he still firmly stated that he will continue to stay in Liverpool. The 32-year-old midfielder only started once in the Reds' season to win the Premier League title, while Heraffenberg became the team's preferred defensive midfielder. Endo's future has been attracting much attention, after Liverpool rejected Marseille's offer to him last summer.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is expected to be very active in the transfer market. They have finalized the deal for Mamadashvili and Flynnpon and are in talks with Leverkusen to sign Wilz to break the club record, while also interested in Bournemouth's Kolkz. Endo is aware of the transfer rumors, but he believes staying at Liverpool is the most beneficial for his career.
Speaking about this, Endo said, "I heard about the transfer rumors. Everyone was talking about it, my friends contacted me, and even my family asked, 'What are you going to do next?' Sometimes other players would ask, 'Will you be here next year?' Especially after the mid-season. But I just said, 'In my case, I will stay.'" Endo said, "When asked further if I would rather stay at Liverpool than leave, Endo said, "Yes, I would rather stay at." Liverpool. I think Liverpool is a club worth playing for, and if you ask me if I'm willing to give up the chance to play at Liverpool and switch to other teams, the answer is no. I believe focusing on winning as many championships as possible at Liverpool would be the best thing of my career. Yes, you can expect, at least that's the case now."
However, Endo also admitted that he was not satisfied with his backup role this season, but as the season progressed, he was used more to help the team secure the victory. In addition, he thanked Liverpool fans for their support, Endo said: "I'm glad we were able to keep a streak and win in a series of tough games and ended up winning the championship, and my role became like a part of the team at the end of the season. When we were leading, I would be on the field at the last moment to make sure we got three points.
" In a sense, it was a role I won for myself. I've been thinking about how to contribute to the team in the current situation, of course, I'm not happy with the status quo, but it's really a way to contribute to the championship. Throughout the season, Liverpool fans knew that I didn’t have much chance to play. But I really feel their support and I am happy to see Liverpool fans happy. ”
