Liverpool is facing the imminent departure of two key midfield players, with Fabinho and captain Jordan Henderson both likely to leave the club. According to reports from 'The Athletic,' Jordan Henderson is on the verge of finalizing his move to Al-Ettifaq, a Saudi Pro-League team, after successfully completing his medical with them on Friday.
Henderson's potential move to Saudi Arabia would see him reunite with his former Liverpool teammate and club legend, Steven Gerrard, who was appointed as the manager of Al-Ettifaq earlier in the summer. Liverpool is expected to receive a transfer fee of around Ł12 million for their skipper, making it a significant move for both the player and the club.
The English international has been offered an enticing contract by Al-Ettifaq, with a reported weekly wage of Ł700,000. If all goes as planned, the deal could be finalized and officially announced as early as next week, solidifying Henderson's move to the Pro-League side. In addition to Henderson, Liverpool is also bracing for the departure of another midfield stalwart, Fabinho, who is set to join Al Ittihad. This potential double blow in the midfield means that Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp, will need to explore new options to reinforce the squad. While the club has already welcomed new arrivals in the form of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, securing replacements for Henderson and Fabinho remains a priority.
One player on Klopp's radar is Southampton's Romeo Lavia, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Despite Southampton's substantial valuation of Ł50 million for Lavia, Liverpool is actively engaged in discussions with the club. The young midfielder has caught the attention of the Reds, and they are determined to pursue the transfer, provided they can reach an agreement with Southampton.
As the transfer window progresses, Liverpool will be facing critical decisions regarding their midfield composition. Losing two influential players like Henderson and Fabinho will undoubtedly present challenges, but the club's proactive approach to identifying potential replacements, like Romeo Lavia, showcases their determination to maintain a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
