Reports are coming in that Jordan Henderson is on the verge of accepting a staggering weekly offer of about £700,000 to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq.
The move would potentially reunite him with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who manages the team and is trying to make Henderson join him there.
Al-Ettifaq is confident in their ability to attract Henderson away from Anfield, as they are willing to offer a weekly salary four times his current £190,000-a-week earnings.
