Introduction
Jordan Henderson, the 33-year-old midfielder, is allegedly looking to end his time in Saudi Arabia and return to the Premier League. Despite the potential £3m tax bill, Henderson is determined to leave Al-Ettifaq just six months after joining the club.
Controversial Move to Al-Ettifaq
Henderson caused controversy when he left Liverpool to sign a three-year deal with Al-Ettifaq, reportedly earning £700,000 per week. However, he will only receive this salary if he fulfills the first two years of his contract playing under his former teammate Steven Gerrard.
Regret and Struggles at Al-Ettifaq

Despite being made captain by Gerrard, Henderson has yet to score a goal in 19 appearances for Al-Ettifaq. The team’s poor performance, with only one win in 13 games, has put Gerrard under pressure as well.
Potential Return to England
There are rumors of a possible return to England for Henderson, with Celtic and an unnamed German club also showing interest. talkSPORT has revealed that the German club is Bayern Munich, the reigning champions. Henderson has been offered to both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, but Al-Ettifaq is reluctant to sell him due to his high wages.
Desire for England Squad Place
Henderson is eager to secure a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024. He would join his Three Lions teammate Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, while Eric Dier has also been linked with a move to the club from Tottenham.
Reasons for Wanting to Leave Saudi Arabia
Henderson is reportedly unhappy with the attendances at Al-Ettifaq and is not satisfied with the climate and lifestyle in Saudi Arabia. However, he has not yet submitted a transfer request.
Conclusion
Jordan Henderson’s desire to leave Al-Ettifaq and return to the Premier League has attracted interest from top European clubs. While Al-Ettifaq is reluctant to sell him, Henderson’s determination to secure a place in the England squad for Euro 2024 may influence his future decisions.
