Jordan Henderson filming Liverpool ‘goodbye video’ before Saudi Pro League move

by ·

In a surprising turn of events, Jordan Henderson, the 33-year-old Liverpool star, was captured on camera filming what appears to be a heartfelt ‘goodbye video’ at Anfield. The midfielder is reportedly on the verge of a sensational move to Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq, with the transfer deal said to be valued at an eye-popping £10.5 million.

The move brings an end to Henderson’s illustrious 12-year career at Liverpool, during which he established himself as a key figure in the club’s history. However, this transfer carries some controversial aspects, as Saudi Arabia’s strict laws surrounding homosexuality come into play. Henderson, previously considered a strong ally for the LGBTQ+ community, is set to join a country where being homosexual or transgender remains illegal.

Adding further intrigue to the story is the prospect of a reunion with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who recently assumed the managerial role at Al Ettifaq. It remains to be seen how Henderson’s legacy will be affected by this move, given his vocal support for initiatives such as Rainbow Laces and his stance as an LGBTQ+ ally.

Former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness expressed his concerns over the transfer, stating that Henderson’s move to a nation with regressive LGBTQ+ laws could tarnish his reputation. Souness, who attended Brighton Pride in 2019, has been vocal about the need for progress within football to combat homophobia.

The footage of Henderson filming his ‘goodbye video’ has left Liverpool fans in mixed emotions, as they prepare to bid farewell to their beloved captain. The captivating video has already started making waves online, and fans across the globe are eager to see how this chapter of Henderson’s career unfolds.

As the deal nears completion and Henderson’s wages are set to reportedly quadruple to a staggering £700,000-a-week, the footballing world holds its breath for the official announcement, while contemplating the impact this move could have on Henderson’s legacy and the ongoing fight against homophobia in football.
