TOP STORY: Juve join race for Henderson
Juventus are actively exploring a move to sign Al Ettifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Bianconeri are said to have been offered an 18-month loan deal to land the 33-year-old, but sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is discussing a clause that would allow them to have the option to terminate the loan at the end of the season.
An offer worth €1.5 million per season has been made by the Serie A club, who view the former Liverpool captain as a “concrete option” to reinforce their midfield, though they accept that there is no possibility that they could match his current salary in the Saudi Pro League.
ESPN sources reported on Sunday that while Ajax Amsterdam head coach John van’t Schip confirmed that they were looking at a potential deal for Henderson, Al Ettifaq are reluctant to move him on.
That could prove to be a stumbling block for the England international, who is believed to be looking towards Europe as an exit route out of Saudi Arabia.
