Former player can return?

Liverpool may be on the verge of reviving an important chapter in its history. According to European press reports, the English club is interested in repatriating midfielder Jordan Henderson, who left Anfield in 2023 to play for Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.

Henderson, who captained Liverpool in their 2019 UEFA Champions League, 19/20 Premier League, and 2019 FIFA Club World Cup victories, did not adapt well to Saudi Arabian football. After a year, the player transferred to Ajax in the Netherlands, but the desire to return to the Premier League remains.

Liverpool, in turn, is looking to strengthen its midfield and sees Henderson as an experienced player with leadership qualities who knows the club well. The English midfielder could add value to the squad and help the team win more titles.

However, the negotiation will not be simple. Henderson has a contract with Ajax until 2026 and the Dutch club will not make it easy for the player to leave. Additionally, Liverpool will have to compete with other English clubs that are also interested in the midfielder.

The Liverpool fans have received the news with enthusiasm. Henderson's return would be a reunion with an idol and a significant reinforcement for the team. The player, in turn, has shown on several occasions his affection for the club and the desire to return.

Captain is coming home?

The coming days will be decisive for Henderson's future. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can convince Ajax to negotiate and whether the player will accept the challenge of returning to defend the Reds' colors.

What is known so far is that Liverpool's interest in Henderson is real and that the English midfielder is willing to return to the Premier League.
