Report: Liverpool midfielder likely to follow Fabinho to Saudi Arabia

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson could be on his way out amid impending Fabinho move

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is expected to follow Fabinho out of Anfield as his move to Al Ettifaq progresses.

Sources have revealed that negotiations for Henderson‘s departure have advanced, signalling the end of his illustrious tenure at Liverpool. That is as per Football Insider via Liverpool ECHO

The same reports suggest that the 33-year-old midfielder has agreed to a two-year contract with Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq, which could see him earn a staggering £700,000 per week.

While Fabinho is not with the squad for the pre-season, Henderson remains with the club as they undertake their pre-season preparations in Germany.

The impending potential departure of Henderson, a beloved figure and leader at Anfield, will undoubtedly leave a void within the Liverpool squad. His influential presence on and off the field has been instrumental in the team’s recent successes.

Throughout his Liverpool career, Henderson has consistently demonstrated his dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the club’s values. His contributions have been pivotal in securing numerous trophies, including the Premier League, Champions League, and FIFA Club World Cup. While the midfield revamp at Liverpool was much needed, it surely cannot transpire this way as a transition would’ve been the best way to go about that instead of an instant refresh.

However, as the football landscape evolves and circumstances change, the departure of key players becomes an inevitability. It is crucial for the club to navigate these transitions effectively to maintain the team’s competitiveness and continue its pursuit of silverware.

Liverpool’s managerial staff, led by Jurgen Klopp, will now face the challenge of reorganizing and reinforcing the squad’s midfield following the impending [potential] exits of both Fabinho and Henderson.
