Jordan Henderson snubs reunion with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard over fears Al-Ettifaq transfer would scupper his chances of playing at Euro 2024

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has declined the opportunity to join Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, according to reports.

• Steven Gerrard, the former Liverpool captain, has reportedly shown interest in signing Jordan Henderson for his current club. The two players had previously been teammates at Liverpool. However, Henderson has decided to decline the offer to join Gerrard’s team.

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson has reportedly rejected an offer from Ettifaq, as he is concerned that accepting the appointment would negatively affect his chances of being selected for the England team at Euro 2024. This information was reported by CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs.

Jordan Henderson, at the age of 33, continues to be an important player for Anfield. In the previous season, he played in 43 matches across all competitions. His contract with Liverpool will last until 2025.

Gerrard’s appointment at Ettifaq may result in the club pursuing more players from the Premier League. His interest in Henderson comes as no surprise, considering they have played together a combined 142 times for both Liverpool and England.

Henderson will participate in Liverpool’s pre-season preparations to overcome the disappointments of the 2022-23 season, during which they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
