After missing out on Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo, Liverpool are moving to bring in Endo from Bundesliga club Stuttgart, with the midfielder set to undergo a medical.
However, losing Fabinho and Jordan Henderson means Liverpool will try to also bring in another midfielder beyond Endo.
Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch is on their list, while they could rekindle their interest in Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone, according to German daily Bild.
Shopping in the Bundesliga, Jurgen Klopp’s backyard, appears to the what Liverpool are focused on doing.
All eyes will be on how Endo handles the step up to the Premier League from the Bundesliga.
Liverpool will want the Japan international to hit the ground running as they look to record a good start to the new season.
Endo, who is costing Liverpool in the region of €19m, captained Stuttgart last season and is an experienced Bundesliga campaigner.
