Liverpool FC News: Jordan Henderson Accepts Saudi Move, Fabinho Set for Bid & More Thiago Talk
It has been a busy day of news for Liverpool Football Club on Thursday, with both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho linked with moves to Saudi Arabia. The Reds captain has accepted a move to Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq, while Fabinho is expected to be the subject of a £40 million bid from Al Ittihad. Meanwhile, there is talk of Thiago leaving Anfield for Barcelona. Here is the latest news from the world of Liverpool FC.
Jordan Henderson Accepts Saudi Move
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has accepted a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. The 33-year-old has been offered in the region of £700,000 per week to join Gerrard’s side, and Liverpool are now seeking to agree a transfer fee for the midfielder, with reports suggesting they will want in the region of £20 million.
Henderson was spotted training as normal as pre-season continues for the Reds at the AXA, but developments are expected to continue at speed. If the move goes through, it would be a legacy-changing move from Henderson, and not for the better.
Fabinho Set for Bid
Just when you thought one midfielder to Saudi was enough, Fabinho is expected to be the subject of a £40 million bid from Al Ittihad. The club has already signed Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, and is now looking to add Fabinho to their ranks. Sources in Liverpool feel that Thiago leaving Anfield for Barcelona is a “concrete possibility”, so it looks like the Reds could be losing two of their midfielders this summer.
