A top manager confirmed serious talks going on for ex Liverpool Jordan Henderson

Liverpool former player Jordan Henderson could be living worrying days in his football career after having decided to leave the Reds to join the Saudi club Al Ettifaq under the management of Steven Gerrard in the Saudi Pro League, a transfer which has been strongly criticized by the football experts and the British media in the last few months.

In this sense, Jordan Henderson would have started to suffer the disadvantages of playing in the Saudi League as reported by the Italian journal Corriere dello Sport, which stated a potential interest from Juventus to take the player back to European football in the last few weeks following the willingness of Henderson to leave the Saudi league.

Following these sources, the Italian side would be losing the race for the player, as the manager of a top European club already expressed his intention to sign Henderson during the January transfer market window, admitting that the negotiations for the English midfielder would be already in an advanced stage.

The player would still have some terms to fix in Saudi Arabia

The team in question would be Ajax, whose manager confirmed that the Dutch club would be close to sealing the deal to take Henderson to the Johan Cruyff Arena in the next few days in a permanent transfer. “We are in serious conversations with Jordan Henderson to sign him in the short term”, said Van Schip in a recent statement to ESPN, “but he still has some things to fix in Saudi Arabia”.
