Jordan Henderson, the captain of Liverpool, is reportedly generating transfer interest, and the most recent information suggests that an exit is being contemplated, according to a second source.

One of the few players who competed before Jurgen Klopp took over, Henderson, 33, has been at Liverpool the longest. With the exception of homegrown players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez is the only other player signed by a manager except Klopp.

Since taking over for Steven Gerrard as captain back in 2015, the Reds captain has led by example. Gerrard, according to numerous sources, may force Henderson out of Anfield.

Indeed, the Daily Mail was the first to report that Henderson is being evaluated by the Saudi Arabian team Al Ettifaq. Henderson is one of the Premier League players who Gerrard is courting since he was just named Al Eiitfaq’s manager.

Given that he did not start as much as he is used to last season, The Mail suggested that Henderson would be open to leaving. Henderson’s playing time will also get less and less since Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and a third midfielder are on the way.

The Henderson to Saudi claims have now gained more support from a second source. According to the French publication L’Equipe, Al Ettifaq is keeping an eye on the central midfielder. Additionally, they seem to imply that an exit is being thought about.

Indeed, the publication state ‘the Englishman’s answer has not yet been revealed’. If it was a flat no, logic would dictate his rejection would have already come to light.

Henderson has two more years to run on his Liverpool contract. As such, the idea of recouping a fee for a 33-year-old who is no longer a guaranteed starter could appeal to Liverpool.
