Jordan Henderson's Saudi move is under threat as Al-Ettifaq are struggling to meet Liverpool’s demands, despite offering the midfielder £35million a year in wages.

England veteran Henderson, 33, has agreed a contract worth £700,000 a week, but Liverpool want a transfer fee of around £20m.

Al-Ettifaq, who are not one of the Saudi clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund, are floundering in trying to meet that mark

Initially the indications were that Henderson would be reluctant to leave Liverpool, with his England place a concern ahead of the Euros next summer.

he is thought to now be seriously considering the proposal from Al-Ettifaq, who would quadruple his current wages.
