Liverpool will conclude the transfer of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho this week, according to renowned journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Henderson missed the Reds’ 4-2 win over Karlsruher SC after Liverpool agreed a deal in principle worth £12m plus add-ons with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq.
The 33-year-old, who has two years left on his remaining contract with Merseysiders has already agreed personal terms with the Saudi Pro League side. He is set to leave camp and undergo his medical in Croatia – where Al-Ettifaq are currently based as they prepare for the new season.
The England midfielder will bring his 12-year stay at Anfield this summer together with Fabinho who is also set to undergo his Al Ittihad medical after the club received a £40m bid for the Brazilian.
Henderson and Fabinho helped Liverpool win the Champions League, Premier League, Club World Cup, Super Cup, Emirates FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.
The pair will join other Premier League stars such as former teammate Roberto Firmino, N’Golo Kanté, and Kalidou Koulibaly in Saudi Arabia if the deals go through.
Prior to Henderson’s move to the Gulf State, he has been criticised by LGBTQ+ campaigners as same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Henderson has publicly supported the LGBTQ+ community in the past.
