Liverpool’s midfield could undergo a lot of change once the 2026 summer transfer window opens.On the back of what has been a disappointing campaign by his standards, it was reported that Alexis Mac Allister could leave Anfield this year.Meanwhile, Curtis Jones is considering an exit amid links to Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, while Wataru Endo’s future could also be away from Liverpool. What’s your score prediction for Liverpool vs Crystal Palace? 🔮 A tough game for the Reds in recent times…Credit: Dan Istitene/Getty Images Wataru Endo could leave Liverpool in summer transfer windowThe Japan star moved to England in 2023, signing from Stuttgart for a fee of around £16m.Endo has since made 87 appearances for the Reds, but his game time has been heavily reduced under Arne Slot.During Liverpool’s most recent title-winning season, the midfielder was afforded just 260 minutes of action in the Premier League.It was a similar story this term as well, with the 33-year-old playing 170 minutes of league football prior to him suffering a long-term injury that has kept him sidelined since February.Now, with Endo set to enter the final 12 months of his contract at Liverpool, this summer is probably the best time to part ways with the player if the Reds want to recoup some form of transfer fee.On that front, Lewis Steele was asked in a Q&A for the Daily Mail if Jones, Mac Allister and the Japan international will leave, with the journalist responding, ‘I would not be surprised at all if any of them leave… but Liverpool cannot allow all three of them to depart in the same summer.’Of that trio, Jones is perhaps the most useful given his home-grown status and as we saw against Everton at the weekend, his ability to play at right-back.In turn, it may be worth trying to keep hold of him ahead of Endo, who is now 33 years of age.It remains to be seen what will happen in the summer, but it does seem like Slot will have a new-look midfield once the 2026/27 campaign gets underway.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
