Henderson Eyes Ajax Move to Revive Euro 2024 Dreams Amid Al-Ettifaq Departure Talks

Jordan Henderson is reportedly on the verge of informing Al-Ettifaq about his intention to leave the club, with Ajax emerging as a potential destination. The 33-year-old midfielder is eager to return to European football, preferably the Premier League, expressing dissatisfaction with his current situation in Saudi Arabia. Ajax is actively pursuing a loan deal to bring Henderson back to European competition, aiming to rescue his Euro 2024 aspirations.

The former Liverpool captain is expected to engage in discussions with Al-Ettifaq on Sunday, communicating his desire to depart due to challenges settling in the Gulf state. Henderson, who hasn’t experienced victory in a Saudi Pro League match for over two months, is concerned that staying beyond January could jeopardize his place in the England squad for the upcoming Euros. Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen are also monitoring the situation, considering Henderson as a valuable addition for the remainder of the season.
