BREAKING: Liverpool Captain Jordan Henderson ‘leaning towards accepting life-changing’ offer from Al Ettifaq
In a surprising turn of events, Liverpool star Jordan Henderson appears to be edging closer to accepting an offer from Al Ettifaq, according to reports. The Saudi Arabian club has presented Henderson with a lucrative deal that could alter the course of his career.
The offer on the table is rumored to be an astonishing £700,000 per week, a staggering amount that quadruples his current wage at Liverpool. With two years remaining on his contract with the Premier League giants, negotiations would be required between Liverpool and Al Ettifaq to facilitate a potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League.
Despite the speculation, The Athletic states that Liverpool has not received any official contact from other clubs regarding the transfer of the England international. However, should Henderson express his desire to move, discussions between the involved parties would undoubtedly take place.
Adding intrigue to the situation is the fact that Henderson’s former Liverpool teammate, Steven Gerrard, has recently been appointed as the manager of Al Ettifaq. Gerrard is keen on bringing the Liverpool captain to the club as his first major signing of the summer, having played a significant role in driving the pursuit for Henderson.
Speaking about his new role, Gerrard expressed his enthusiasm and ambition for the upcoming season, emphasizing his desire to work tirelessly to ensure a highly competitive team. He also highlighted the growth potential of the Saudi Pro League and the collective aspirations to make it one of the best leagues worldwide.
Gerrard praised the existing culture and support at Al Ettifaq, acknowledging the commitment of the club’s president and board members. He aims to integrate himself into the club’s ethos, building relationships and providing the necessary support to propel the team’s progress and climb up the league standings.
As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes will be on Jordan Henderson as he weighs the enticing offer from Al Ettifaq, potentially embarking on a new chapter in his illustrious career.
