Liverpool agree £12m fee in principle for Jordan Henderson to join Al-Ettifaq on £700,000-a-week deal as Reds captain moves closer to Steven Gerrard reunion after missing friendly
Daily MailJordan Henderson is set to leave Liverpool's German training camp to decide whether to move to Saudi Arabia after Al-Ettifaq agreed a £12million deal. Steven Gerrard's side have already agreed terms that would see Henderson earn some £700,000-a-week What Liverpool will need to do from here is buy someone and they have a lengthy list of midfield targets in the increasing likelihood that Fabinho ends his five-year spell on Merseyside to link up with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo. Phillips is intriguing option, primarily because it is eight years since Liverpool and Manchester City last entered into negotiations for a transfer with each other and it remains to be seen whether last season’s Treble winners would want to business that would help their bitter rivals. They include Cheick Doucoure of Crystal Palace, Fiorentina captain Sofyan Amrabat – who excelled for Morocco during the World Cup – Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch, who has been on Liverpool's radar for many months, and Manchester City anchor Kalvin Phillips.
