Liverpool have rejected an offer from Marseille for midfielder Wataru Endo, who is valued at around £12m by the French club. Despite interest from new manager Roberto De Zerbi, Liverpool has turned down the initial approach. Other clubs are also eyeing the Japan international, and if he were to be sold, a replacement would be necessary, with options like Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones to fill the void. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s forward Harvey Elliott is hopeful that Lee Carsley will be considered for the England senior team’s top job, which could potentially open the door for his own national team debut.

Elliott, who played under Carsley in the England U21s, believes that Carsley is ready for the new role and has the ability to handle the responsibilities. Elliott expresses his admiration for Carsley, highlighting his managerial skills and how he provides the players with freedom to enjoy their football. He also mentions the interest from big clubs in Carsley, attributing it to his coaching abilities. Elliott is confident in Carsley’s readiness for the top job.
