Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson set for life-changing move to Saudi Arabia worth ₦700m a week
Henderson is seriously considering teaming up with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard who is now manager of Al-Ettifaq but expected to have a face-to-face meeting with Jurgen Klopp before making a final decision.
Henderson set for big-money Saudi move
The Saudi club are pushing hard to make Henderson their statement signing and are set to quadruple his current wages of around £180,000 a week in an effort to land the 33-year-old.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, the Liverpool captain is leaning towards accepting an offer that would be life-changing, despite having two years left on his existing deal at Anfield.

Henderson knows his role at Liverpool next season will be limited as Klopp pushes on with plans to reshape his midfield after signing Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hungary star Dominik Sbozoszlai from Leipzig.
The England international is desperate to be at the heart of Liverpool's attempt to challenge Manchester City once again but if he receives no assurances from Klopp, he is minded to accept the Saudi move.
Should he choose to depart, he would be doing so after 492 appearances in all competitions, winning the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.
