In a significant development, Liverpool and Al Ettifaq have successfully reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Jordan Henderson. According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal involves an initial fee of £12 million.
The 33-year-old Liverpool captain has already committed to a three-year contract with the Saudi Arabian club, and the finalization of paperwork is imminent. As a result, Henderson was notably absent from the squad during the Karlsruher friendly match, as preparations are being made for his upcoming journey to Saudi Arabia. There, he will undergo a medical examination to conclude the transfer process.
This move marks a notable step in Henderson’s career as he prepares to embark on a new chapter with Al Ettifaq, while Liverpool faces the departure of a long-standing and influential captain.
