Al Ettifaq is eagerly awaiting Jordan Henderson's approval to proceed with a formal offer to Liverpool, as the midfielder ponders his future. Under the new management of Steven Gerrard, the Saudi Pro League team is extremely determined to secure the services of this English international and has put forward a proposition to increase his weekly salary to over three times his current £200,000. They have also discussed the possibility of a two-year contract with an option for a third year.
Al Ettifaq is prepared to offer any required transfer fee in order to acquire Henderson, who has two years remaining on his current contract. There has been no communication, whether casual or official, between the clubs, indicating that Liverpool's captain has not made a decision yet.
It is understood Henderson will first seek clarity from Jurgen Klopp over how much he will contribute in the upcoming season.
Liverpool are undergoing a midfield rebuild that isn't complete yet.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been recently acquired, while Romeo Lavia continues to generate substantial interest. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has set its sights on Thiago Alcantara, prompting the need for Liverpool to offload midfielders.
Henderson is evaluating the importance of his role in Liverpool for the future, as well as considering the potential impact on his international prospects for the upcoming European Championships. Additionally, there is a moral aspect to be considered: Henderson has consistently championed human rights and is a prominent supporter of the LGBTQI+ community.
