Liverpool have agreed a tentative deal worth £12m plus additional terms to sell midfielder Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq.
Henderson traveled to Germany with Liverpool for their training camp but did not feature in their first pre-season game against Karlsruher.
The English midfielder, 33, has two years left on his contract at Anfield.
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has recently been appointed manager of Al-Ettifaq.
The deal for Henderson follows Liverpool's £40m bid from Al-Ittihad for midfielder Fabinho last Friday. Unlike Henderson, the 29-year-old Brazil international did not travel to Germany until his future was settled.
Several top players have moved to Saudi Arabia this summer, including former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and former Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.
Former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino joined Al-Ahli after his contract at Anfield expired, and Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has also been linked with the club.
Henderson joined Liverpool from Sunderland in a £20 million deal in June 2011.
Henderson made 43 appearances for the Reds last season as they endured a disappointing campaign, finishing fifth in the Premier League and missing out on a Champions League spot. In total, he played 491 times for the Reds, scoring 33 goals and providing 58 assists.
Henderson was captain as Liverpool won the Champions League in 2019 before lifting the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup later that year.
He was also the Red Devils captain as the club won the 2019-20 Premier League title to end a 30-year wait for the English title.
Henderson's other trophies at Liverpool include winning the FA Cup in 2022 and the League Cup in 2012 and 2022.
