- Henderson targeted by Saudi champions this week
- Klopp appears to have given green light
- Liverpool not to be lowballed
WHAT HAPPENED? Steven Gerrard and the higher-ups at Al-Ettifaq seemingly want to end Henderson's 12-year stay at Anfield this summer, with the 33-year-old being heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. However, it seems unlikely the clubs will be able to agree a fee with Liverpool demanding a £20m fee for their captain despite Al-Ettifaq's wishes to secure his services for a much lower price, according to The Telegraph.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Due to the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Klopp reportedly told Henderson that his minutes will be limited this season in a meeting earlier this week. The two new signings seem to be ones that will slot straight into the starting XI and a third midfield acquisition is still likely to happen too, rumours surrounding Southampton's Romeo Lavia continue to swirl.

WHAT NEXT FOR HENDERSON? Unless Al-Ettifaq are willing to pay Liverpool's asking price, Henderson will be staying at Anfield and will have to fight for his place in a side that looks to be, slowly but surely, outgrowing him.
