Barca and Liverpool are looking for a defensive midfielder in the market. Barca needs a defensive midfielder because Xavi has lost trust with summer signing Oriel Romeu. The Spanish midfielder has seen a lack of game time because of his poor run of form. Sergi Roberto has been used more often in the midfield position, but Xavi would like to bring in another midfielder to the squad and needs a high-quality one.

Liverpool signed Endo from Stuttgart in the summer, and he has impressed many with his recent performances. At first, the Japanese midfielder was not a fan favorite, but with form turning positive, Liverpool fans may give him a chance as the main man in the sixth position. Endo has left with Japan for the AFC Cup this month, and Liverpool is left with no natural defensive midfielder. Jurgen Klopp look to get a defensive midfielder to add depth to the squad.

Newcastle United would have hoped to sign more players during this transfer window, but the Premier League Financial Fair Play [FFP] rules have made them cautious about spending. They are considering selling an essential player from their team.
