According to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has declined the opportunity to reunite with Reds legend Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. Gerrard, who recently took charge at Ettifaq, had targeted Henderson for a potential transfer. However, Henderson has reportedly rejected the offer, as he fears that such a move could jeopardize his chances of being selected for the England squad at Euro 2024.
The 33-year-old midfielder remains a crucial component of Liverpool’s team, having made 43 appearances in all competitions last season. Henderson’s current contract with the Reds is set to run until 2025, highlighting his significance to the club’s plans for the future.
