Two Liverpool players are expected to move to Saudi Arabia in the summer, and Jordan Henderson is trying to get out of Al Ettifaq in order to perhaps sign with a major European team. This is your summary of the most recent Liverpool news.
Giant from Europe is “keen” to sign Jordan Henderson.
Jordan Henderson, the former captain of Liverpool, is expected to sign a contract with Ajax this month. The renowned team is eager to acquire the Al Ettifaq midfielder. The Guardian claims that Henderson is looking for a route out of Saudi Arabia.
Henderson wants to move on after being sold for about $15 million (£12 million/€14 million) in the summer, but it’s unclear if Al Ettifaq will approve a transfer. The player signed a three-year contract with massive salaries just six months ago, and the Saudi team is eager to keep him.But even with the enormous money, Henderson has not been able to persuade himself that moving there was a wise move—even withstanding a loss since October and playing in front of sparse audiences. The former Liverpool player was a surprising addition to the Saudi league, and the Reds have a sell-on clause that might generate further revenue should he be able to leave, according to sports commentator Ben Jacobs, who wrote on X/Twitter.
Al Ettifaq says a Liverpool pair is “wanted,” and Steven Gerrard is holding a transfer meeting.
Al Ettifaq has considered Joe Gomez and Joël Matip of Liverpool ahead of a potential summer deal, according to Ben Jacobs of Caught Offside. Following a “three-hour” transfer discussion with his Saudi Arabian bosses, Steven Gerrard is eager to bolster a team that isn’t winning.
Although Mohamed Salah was kept despite a verbal offer being made for the Egyptian, Henderson and Fabinho were transferred by Liverpool last summer to Saudi Pro League teams. The former signed for Al Ettifaq, but he now wants to go and has not settled. However, moving to the Middle East is undoubtedly less alluring now than it was in the
Even with players like Neymar moving to Saudi Arabia, the low attendance and lack of interest in the league worldwide has been telling. Furthermore, although the project’s financial situation is still favorable, the sporting component has taken a very long time to take off. Not many predicted a few months ago that it would improve at the current rate past.
