According to a report by TEAMtalk, Sunderland midfielder Enzo Le Fee is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are keen on bolstering their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder ahead of the 2026/27 season, and they have set their sights on the 26-year-old.
The Premier League champions were also keen on signing the Frenchman last year, but he decided to remain at the Stadium of Light. However, Liverpool will face stiff competition from other Premier League clubs for Le Fee’s signature, and Sunderland will aim to resist selling the player in the upcoming transfer window.
Enzo Le Fee has established himself as one of the most dependable midfielders in the Premier League since joining Sunderland from AS Roma. Born in Lorient, the 26-year-old spent his formative years in France and graduated from the youth division at FC Lorient. However, he had to bide his time after frustrating stints with Stade Rennais and AS Roma before landing on his feet at the Stadium of Light.
Le Fee initially joined Sunderland on loan in January 2025 before completing a permanent move in the subsequent summer transfer window. The French midfielder has been productive for the Wearside outfit this season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in 35 outings thus far and playing his part in the team’s push for European qualification. Meanwhile, his progress has provoked interest from several well-known clubs, including Liverpool.
Enzo Le Fee has been on Liverpool’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as Wataru Endo faces an uncertain future at Anfield after struggling for regular game time under Arne Slot and sustaining multiple injuries this term. Additionally, Le Fee’s ability to reprise advanced roles makes him an appealing target for Liverpool.
The Premier League champions are “primed to revive their pursuit as they look to bolster their engine room” in the summer transfer window. However, with other Premier League clubs also vying for the 26-year-old Frenchman’s signature, a summer move will not be straightforward.
Additionally, Sunderland’s desire to keep Le Fee at the Stadium of Light beyond the 2025/26 season leaves Liverpool in a spot of bother in the battle for his signature. It will be interesting to see if the Reds turn the French midfielder’s head in the coming months.
