Jordan Henderson bids goodbye to Liverpool ahead of Al-Ettifaq move

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has bid an emotional farewell to the club as he prepares to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, bringing an end to his illustrious 12-year spell at Anfield.

The 33-year-old midfielder, who has been an integral part of Liverpool’s success during his tenure, expressed his gratitude and love for the club in a heartfelt message on Instagram. He thanked the fans for their unwavering support, stating that he will always be a Red and that Liverpool will forever hold a special place in his heart.

In an accompanying video, shot in Liverpool’s dressing room, Henderson reflected on the significance of being appointed captain of the club, describing it as one of the greatest honors of his life. He took pride in the responsibility and role of leading the team, expressing his commitment to embodying the values of a true Liverpool captain.

Henderson’s move to Al-Ettifaq has been on the cards for several weeks, and a fan recently captured him training with his new club in Croatia. Despite the impending transfer, Henderson joined Liverpool’s training camp in Germany but did not feature in any friendlies. The deal with Al-Ettifaq is reportedly set at an initial £12 million.

The departure of the beloved captain will undoubtedly be a significant loss for Liverpool, but Henderson’s legacy will forever be etched in the club’s history. His leadership, dedication, and contributions to Liverpool’s success have endeared him to the fans, making him a true icon on and off the field.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is also dealing with a potential transfer of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho to Al-Ittihad, with a £40 million bid accepted. The deal is expected to be finalized soon, adding to the reshaping of the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
