Liverpool and Saudi Pro League team Al Ettifaq have finalized a £12m deal for the transfer of their captain, Jordan Henderson. The agreement has been reached, allowing the 33-year-old English player to potentially make his move to Saudi Arabia. However, personal terms are yet to be agreed upon.
Henderson evaluated the importance of his on-field position at Liverpool in the future and considered the potential impact of joining Al Ettifaq on his international prospects for the upcoming European Championships. After careful consideration, he expressed his decision to move. Celebrating the 12th anniversary of his signing for Liverpool last month, Henderson has amassed an impressive record of 360 appearances for the club. Additionally, he has triumphantly captained the team to victories in various prestigious tournaments such as the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup.
Liverpool is currently in the process of rebuilding their midfield, which is still a work in progress. They have made acquisitions in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, and they continue to show significant interest in Romeo Lavia.
In addition, Thiago Alcantara has caught the attention of Saudi Arabia, and Al Ittihad is preparing a £40m bid for Fabinho. This move has become necessary for Liverpool as they need to offload some midfielders.
