Liverpool Training Continues Amid Interest in Jordan Henderson and Fabinho
Liverpool’s pre-season training continued on Thursday with both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho present, despite the increasing speculation of their potential moves to clubs in Saudi Arabia.
The day has been full of news for Liverpool, with Henderson reportedly accepting an offer of £700,000 per week to join Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq, and Fabinho expected to be the subject of a £40 million bid from Al Ittihad.
Despite the speculation, both players were pictured in training at the AXA Training Centre alongside Andy Robertson, with manager Jurgen Klopp overseeing proceedings on the outdoor pitches.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were the only two other senior midfielders present, while Thiago continued his rehabilitation from hip surgery. The five senior forwards also took part in the session, as did six goalkeepers and a number of defenders, although Nat Phillips was not pictured amid continued interest in his signature.
Liverpool will leave for their Germany training camp on Saturday, and the complexion of the squad could have changed significantly by then.
Jordan Henderson’s Offer from Al Ettifaq
Henderson has been offered £700,000 per week to join Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq and has reportedly accepted the offer. This would make him one of the highest paid players in world football and is a testament to his quality as a player.
The offer is likely to be too good for Henderson to turn down, and it will be interesting to see how Liverpool cope without him in the midfield. He has been a key player for the Reds since joining from Sunderland in 2011 and has been instrumental in their success over the past few years.
Fabinho’s Interest from Al Ittihad
Fabinho is expected to be the subject of a £40 million bid from Al Ittihad. The Brazilian midfielder has been a key player for Liverpool since joining from Monaco in 2018 and has been one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League.
It is unclear whether Liverpool will accept the offer or not, but it is likely that they will want to keep hold of Fabinho if possible. He has been an integral part of their success over the past few years and it would be a big blow to lose him.
Conclusion
Thursday has been a day of news for Liverpool, with both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho linked with moves away from the club. Despite the speculation, both players were present at training on Thursday and it remains to be seen what will happen next.
Henderson has reportedly accepted an offer from Al Ettifaq, while Fabinho is expected to be the subject of a £40 million bid from Al Ittihad. Liverpool will leave for their Germany training camp on Saturday, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the coming days.
