In an intriguing turn of events, Juventus is reportedly exploring the possibility of a loan move for Al Ettifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson. The former Liverpool captain, who joined the Saudi Arabian club last summer for around £13 million, is eager to depart, eyeing a return to the Premier League.
Sources from Sky in Italy suggest that negotiations may hinge on the length of the loan deal. While Henderson is allegedly seeking an 18-month agreement, Juventus appears inclined towards a shorter arrangement, concluding at the end of the season.
Despite the financial stakes involved, with Henderson earning a weekly wage more than double his Liverpool pay, Al Ettifaq’s on-field performance has been lackluster. The club finds itself winless in the Saudi Pro League since late October, languishing in eighth place, a significant 28 points behind the league leaders, Al Hilal.
As the January transfer window deadline approaches on Thursday, February 1, the football world awaits the resolution of this potential move, with Henderson’s desire for a Premier League comeback adding an extra layer of intrigue.
