Jordan Henderson 'considering leaving Liverpool' for Saudi Pro League

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is reportedly considering a shock move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

Henderson, 33, is currently preparing for his 13th season with Liverpool, having first joined the club from Sunderland back in 2011.

A hugely important figure in the Jurgen Klopp era, Henderson has made 492 appearances for the Merseyside club, scoring 33 times.

After being named captain in 2015 following Steven Gerrard's departure, Henderson has led Liverpool to every major honour including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup trophies.

But his time at Anfield could be coming to an end.

The Telegraph claim Henderson is considering a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.

The England international is said to be 'wrestling with the dilemma' of whether to quit Liverpool ahead of the 2023/24 season and move to Saudi Arabia.

Liverpool have received no formal approach for their captain, but former teammate Gerrard's Al Ettifaq are said to be interested in the midfielder.

"Henderson will be weighing up the immediate benefits of a lucrative deal in the Saudi league - where he would join former team-mate Roberto Firmino and a host of others big names - against the wrench of walking out of Liverpool right now," read the report.

Will Henderson leave Liverpool?

Henderson still has two years left on his contract at Liverpool but faces increased competition for a place in the team following the signings of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.

But there is also his international career to take into consideration with Euro 2024 to be staged in Germany next summer.

Should he move to Saudi Arabia, it could harm Henderson's chances of making Gareth Southgate's squad for the tournament.

Klopp will be keen for Henderson to remain at Liverpool having already lost the experience and leadership of James Milner, who left the club at the end of last month at the end of his contract.

It remains to be seen whether Henderson will follow him out the door this summer.
