Jordan Henderson, the Liverpool captain, is believed to have agreed in principle to a lucrative contract offer from Al-Ettifaq, pending the Saudi Arabian club's ability to meet Liverpool's asking price. While Saudi Arabia-based Al-Ettifaq initially aimed to secure the 33-year-old midfielder on a free transfer, Liverpool has demanded a substantial fee of £10 million. The clubs are scheduled to engage in negotiations to determine the feasibility of the proposed transfer. Should the deal materialize, Henderson would bid farewell to Anfield after an impressive 12-year tenure with the club. The potential move comes after Henderson held discussions with Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. Klopp has already added two midfielders to the squad this summer, namely Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, and was reportedly pursuing a third addition even before Al-Ettifaq expressed interest in Henderson. Among the names on Liverpool's shortlist is Roméo Lavia from Southampton, but as of now, no official bid has been made for the player. The club is actively exploring alternative options as well.
