Jordan Henderson has been offered a large sum of money to leave Liverpool and join Steven Gerrard at the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq, where Gerrard has recently taken over as manager
Liverpool has been one of the busiest Premier League clubs in the transfer window this summer, and the Reds show no signs of slowing down.
After completing the signings of Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai in time for their full pre-season campaign, Jurgen Klopp could further alter his midfield by losing captain Jordan Henderson. The long-serving captain, who has two years left on his Liverpool contract, has received a substantial offer from Steven Gerrard’s new Saudi Arabian outfit, Al-Ettifaq.
Thiago Alcantara, Henderson’s midfield teammate, might potentially depart for the Middle East, while the door at Anfield remains open for prospective newcomers. Levi Colwill is a name that will pique the interest of Reds fans, but Klopp and co will have to compete to sign him.
Here’s a rundown of the most recent Anfield transfer rumors.
Henderson is considering a relocation to Saudi Arabia.
According to the Athletic, Jordan Henderson is considering leaving Liverpool and reconnecting with Steven Gerrard in Saudi Arabia. Al-Ettifaq, the club Gerrard recently took over as manager, have made an eye-watering offer that would more than treble his wages to £700,000 per week.
Henderson, 33, is under contract with Merseyside Football Club until 2025. Liverpool executives are now expected to meet with their midfield general, who has been at Anfield for 12 seasons and took over as captain in 2015.

Liverpool is planning to transfer Colwill.
According to TalkSPORT, Liverpool are ready to go to war with Brighton over Chelsea wonderkid Levi Colwill. After impressing during his loan term with Brighton last season, the highly-rated centre-back recently won the under-21 European Championships with England.
Colwill’s confident performances, which helped England not concede a single goal during the tournament, have raised his stock, prompting Brighton to launch a £30 million approach, which was firmly rebuffed by Chelsea, who have offered him a lucrative new deal. When he returns from his vacation, the 20-year-old left-footer will meet with manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Liverpool are the frontrunners for Dutch defender Perr Schuurs, whose departure from Torino is said to be a matter of when, not if. According to Tuttosport through Voetbal International, the Reds are the greatest bet to recruit Schuurs, 23, despite interest from Premier League rivals West Ham and Crystal Palace.
It is also speculated that a €40 million (£34 million) sum would be sufficient to entice the Ajax academic graduate to go.
