Reports indicate that Jordan Henderson future at Ajax is uncertain due to the club’s financial challenges. Henderson the former Liverpool captain joined Ajax in January following a tough spell at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. Despite arriving as a free agent, Henderson is now one of the highest earners at the club having agreed to a significant pay cut from his previous £350,000-a-week salary to £85,000-a-week.

Ajax current fifth position in the Eredivisie table casts doubt on their qualification for European competitions next season. If they fail to secure a spot in the Champions League, Ajax may need to sell key players like Henderson and Steven Bergwijn to improve their financial situation. Moreover, Ajax is actively seeking a new manager with reports suggesting that Graham Potter has turned down an offer and Erik ten Hag is linked with a potential return.
