Endo considered surplus and the bid for van den Berg was rejected

It’s been a quiet summer for Liverpool so far, but things are looking up.

During their tour of the United States, slowly but surely work is being done behind the scenes to decide on Liverpool’s incomings and outgoings this summer. Several players who spent last season on loan will have their futures decided in the coming weeks. In addition, Arne Slot will decide which senior players are considered surplus and can be sold to make way for new signings.

Wataru Endo could be sold this summer as Arne Slot looks elsewhere

As revealed by Fabrizio Romano yesterday, Liverpool rejected a bid from Marseille for Wataru Endo worth around £11.7m at the start of July. However, a deal to see the Japan international move to France is now completely off the table.

It may not be the end of a Wataru Endo transfer saga, however, as journalist David Lynch has reported via Twitter that German clubs are keeping an eye on Endo and Liverpool could be open to selling the veteran defensive midfielder.

Furthermore, Lynch recently went on to state that Endo has not yet been a prominent figure in Arne Slot’s plans throughout preseason training.

That means Liverpool could be in the mix to sign a defensive midfielder, especially if Endo leaves. Endo was always seen as a short-term option for the club after signing Romeo Lavia and Moses Caicedo to Chelsea a year ago.

PSV sent a disappointing offer for Sepp van den Berg

Sepp van den Berg could very well move on this summer as the Dutchman looks for guaranteed starting minutes. However, a significant bid will have to be made as previous reports suggest Liverpool will want a minimum of £20m for the youngster.

Last week, Eredivisie side PSV submitted an £8.4m bid to Liverpool in the hope of signing Sepp van den Berg, but the deal was of course immediately rejected, according to Fabrizio Romano. It is unclear whether PSV will return with an improved offer at this time.

van den Berg started Liverpool’s friendly against Real Betis but remains unlikely to win a starting spot under Arne Slot.
