After Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp approved the move, Al Ettifaq appear to be closing in on Jordan Henderson.
That is what Fabrizio Romano asserts, stating that Henderson has approved Al Ettifaq’s request.
Romano asserts that a contract has been agreed upon and that an agreement is presently in effect.
According to reports, Henderson and Liverpool manager Klopp spoke about the transfer, and the German gave his approval.
Henderson must have wanted to go a lot because Klopp reportedly wanted to cling onto him, as reported by 90Min.
The opportunity to work with the Liverpool legend once more may be appealing. Steven Gerrard now manages Al Ettifaq.
Although Al Ettifaq and Liverpool must still come to an agreement on a price, it appears more and more likely that Henderson will now travel to Saudi Arabia.
Jordan Henderson’s salary at Al Ettifaq will be how much?
Henderson is anticipated to make quite astounding sums of money in Saudi Arabia.
All the famous people travelling there this summer, including Karim Benzema, have experienced that. Both Ruben Neves and N’Golo Kante.
However, if rumours are to be accepted, Henderson may be one of the largest purchases to date.
According to The Daily Mail, Al Ettifaq made Henderson an unbelievable offer of £700,000 per week to relocate to Saudi Arabia.
That’s money Liverpool wouldn’t go near to offering Henderson and the 33-year-old seemingly views this as one last huge pay day.
An emotional and surprising exit for Henderson
As a result of the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita, Arthur Melo, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer, Liverpool has already experienced upheaval in the midfield.
Few could have predicted Henderson’s departure, and the move to Saudi Arabia appears to have materialized out of nowhere.
Henderson joined Liverpool in 2011 after being acquired from Sunderland for £16 million. He has now made close to 500 appearances for the Reds.
Henderson has been a crucial leader for Liverpool for a very long time, and his departure will leave a major void. Some people will be upset that Henderson is leaving for Saudi Arabia because they find it hard to believe.
