Liverpool star ready to accept PAYCUT to leave

One Liverpool star is prepared to accept a paycut in order to seal a move away from Anfield.

Every Liverpool fan should be prepared for exits this year. Trent Alexander-Arnold is doing a fantastic job of readying the people, mind.

He's set to quit Anfield for Real Madrid. That's now being reported pretty much everywhere but the writing has been on the wall for some time.

The big question is: who else is off?

Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk are both out of contract as things stand and set to depart the club. Of course, we're all crossing our fingers that the situation changes and they sign new deals.

But that's unlikely to be all of it. Liverpool want a new left-back, for instance, and that doesn't sound great for Kostas Tsimikas.

Ibrahima Konate and Caoimhin Kelleher both enter the final years of their own contracts, too. Liverpool face some difficult decisions there.

And then there's Wataru Endo.

Wataru Endo to Frankfurt?

Bild report that Eintracht Frankfurt want to sign Wataru Endo this summer. On top of that, it's believed that Endo is very open to a move.

The report claims he'd actually take a pay cut to move back to Germany with Frankfurt. That's a significant step, given Endo's salary will be quite a bit higher than Frankfurt can afford.

But it appears he's willing to leave Liverpool after this season and we wouldn't entirely blame him, either. Endo almost certainly takes a Premier League winner's medal with him in pursuit of regular first-team football.

After all, Endo is not a regular at Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp used him plenty but Arne Slot sees him as a player you throw on for the last 10 minutes.

Endo hasn't started a single Premier League game this season, playing a grand total of 147 minutes across substitute appearances. That won't keep a player happy for long.

The Japan star has become an incredibly important player regardless of that, we will say. But it does appear that this will be his final season at Liverpool.
