Former Liverpool Star Player Jordan Henderson will start training with former team this week ahead of stunning football return! Welcome back ๐๐, How did he managed to get this Job ๐ฑ๐
Recently, there have been reports indicating that Jordan Henderson is feeling unsettled during his time at Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. According to sources, Henderson is likely to discuss his desire to leave with club officials, including manager Steven Gerrard.
The situation has attracted attention from several clubs, including Premier League teams and Ajax from the Eredivisie. Juventus has now entered the fray, expressing interest in Henderson’s services.
Italian sources from La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky have revealed that Juventus has made initial contact regarding a potential loan deal for Henderson, which has received approval from manager Massimiliano Allegri.
Henderson is reportedly looking for an 18-month loan arrangement, although Juventus may find this duration challenging. Juventus is also exploring other midfield options, including Lazar Samardzic from Udinese and Ederson from Atalanta.
Sources close to the matter suggest that a loan move is more likely than a permanent transfer during this window. However, Ettifaq is keen on safeguarding their financial interests in any potential deal.
Should a loan materialize, any interested club would need to cover Henderson’s entire salary. Even if Henderson agrees to a reduced wage to facilitate a return to Europe, Ettifaq is insistent on full wage coverage and potentially a loan fee to bolster their squad.
In the case of a permanent transfer, Ettifaq is looking to make a profit, with estimates suggesting a fee around ยฃ20 million to cover transfer costs, wages, and other expenses.
Meanwhile, Ettifaq is already contemplating replacements for Henderson, including Saudi international Abdulelah Al-Malki and Seko Fofana from Al Nassr, though retaining the former Liverpool captain remains a priority.
The club is carefully navigating the transfer situation, aiming to strike a balance between financial stability and strengthening their squad effectively.
