Henderson with Liverpool

While Liverpool have denied any interest in trying to bring Jordan Henderson back into their midfield, the Al-Ettifaq player has been optimistic about leaving Saudi Arabia with a couple of offers already in the old continent, with his arrival at the likes of Juventus and Ajax a clear message warning players like Mohamed Salah of a possible future in the developing Saudi competition.

It is true that Hendo's case can clearly be used by the Egyptian star of the Reds to realise the pros and cons of competition in Arabia, being at least for Salah counterproductive to leave a top European team like Liverpool only to go to the Middle East to receive big money, ruining for the moment the Saudi Pro-League great careers like Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and Karim Benzema, not being Mo' exempt from this constant that he could avoid with a contract extension at the Reds.

It seems that Henderson's intention to leave Saudi Arabia as soon as possible, no matter which club in Europe, is a clear hint for Mo' not to give up his desire to continue at the highest level in England, with the Egyptian currently positioned as one of the best players of the season with amazing numbers in terms of goals and assists in all competitions.

The Reds fans can rest assured that Mo' will not leave the team thanks to the great season he is having at the moment, being for a couple of months now his great focus on trying to be the best not only in Merseyside but also in the whole of England, his constant records serving as inspiration and motivation to stay focused on his present with a Liverpool team that encourages him to continue being their leader and star that a team needs so much.

Henderson forced a much-needed apprenticeship at the Reds

Hendo's departure from Liverpool came at a key moment for the renewal of this team, and his departure to Saudi Arabia ensured that Klopp was more meticulous with the arrival of new reinforcements who are now essential in midfield, as well as Henderson leaving a void in the captaincy that was assumed with full responsibility by a Vilgil Van Dijk who is performing up to expectations. Jordan was also able to open the team's eyes to the fact that the key to success lies in the combination of experience and youth, fulfilling a cycle that many may reproach him for, but from which there is no doubt that many of his former team-mates learned something.
