Jordan Henderson will receive £700K per week at Al-Ahli

There is interesting information regarding the Jordan Henderson transfer saga. The Reds captain will reportedly earn a fantastic salary at Al-Ettifaq. As is well known, several Liverpool players have decided to continue their careers in Saudi Arabia next season. It all started with Roberto Firmino, who accepted Al-Ahli's proposal this summer.

Later it was reported that the captain, Jordan Henderson, would also move to Saudi Arabia. He reportedly received an invitation to move there from his former colleague, Steven Gerrard, who is now the manager there. The Athletic claim that Henderson had other motives for why he moved to Saudi Arabia. It is claimed that the midfielder moved there because of a large salary. According to the report, Al-Ettifaq is willing to spend big money to get Henderson this summer.

The midfielder has reportedly agreed a three-year contract. So that he will defend the Saudi side until 2026. It is reported that the England national team midfielder will receive a salary of £700K per week while defending the Saudi Pro League club. A salary of £700K per week can be said to be a very fantastic nominal for Europe's top footballers.

As an illustration, the player with the highest salary in the EPL at the moment is Kevin De Bruyne. The Citizens midfielder earns a salary of £400 per week, so Henderson receives almost double De Bruyne's salary. When compared to his salary at Liverpool, the increase is quite fantastic. At Liverpool, Henderson is paid £140 per week so he will receive five times his salary when he defends Al-Ettifaq later. According to reports circulating in England, Henderson's transfer to Al-Ettifaq is almost complete. This week, it was reported that he would leave Merseyside to complete his move to Saudi Arabia.
