The Saudi Pro League club’s offer, which would bring him back together with his former teammate Steven Gerrard, has been seriously considered by the 33-year-old.
JordanHenderson has reportedly orally agreed to the move in principle and the contract, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The player has even spoken to manager Jurgen Klopp and the coach has given him the “green light” to make the move.
Henderson has a contract at Anfield until 2025 and Liverpool will demand a transfer fee for the player.
The two clubs will now work on the valuation of the player before he is given the go-ahead to fly to Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool have already drawn up Southampton’s Romeo Lavia as a possible replacement and are ready to submit a bid for the midfielder who is valued at £50 million ($63m).
Moreover, Fabinho has also been linked with a move to the Middle East as Al-Ittihad are reportedly preparing a £40m bid for the Brazilian.
It seems that after making 492 appearances for Liverpool, Henderson might finally bid adieu to Anfield. He was made skipper after Steven Gerrard’s departure in 2015 and led the side to Premier League and Champions League glory.
However, his move to Saudi Arabia has horrified a section of fans as a Liverpool LGBTQ+ group are “appalled and concerned” over his decision to play in a country where homosexuality is illegal.
