Jurgen Klopp confirms Jordan Henderson decision as Liverpool captain to leave training camp

Jurgen Klopp confirms Jordan Henderson decision as Liverpool captain to leave training camp Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he excluded Jordan Henderson from the Liverpool squad due to the player's imminent departure from the club, marking one of the most notable transfers in Liverpool's history. Henderson, aged 33, was not part of the team that faced German second-tier side Karlsruher on Wednesday night, as the Reds have reached an agreement to sell their long-standing captain. The deal is set at £12 million with additional add-ons. The England international is expected to join Al-Ettifaq, where former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is now associated. However, the move is contingent on Henderson accepting the personal terms, which include an enticing three-year contract worth approximately £700,000 per week. Henderson is currently undecided about the potential move and has chosen to leave Liverpool's training camp in Germany to return home and carefully consider whether he wants to undergo such a significant life change. Klopp and Henderson share a strong relationship, and they have had discussions concerning the amount of playing time the player can expect in the upcoming season. Klopp made the decision to exclude Henderson from Wednesday's match just before news emerged about Liverpool accepting Al-Ettifaq's offer. In addition to Henderson's situation, another midfielder, Fabinho, is also on the verge of a transfer. Fabinho did not travel to Germany with the team and is nearing a £40 million move to Saudi side Al-Ittihad. It's worth noting that Al-Ittihad is one of the four clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund in the Saudi Pro League, but they are different from Al-Ettifaq, the potential destination for Henderson. Steven Gerrard, an iconic figure at Liverpool, has been eager to have Jordan Henderson's experience in his team as he begins a new chapter in his managerial career. The potential transfer would mark one of the most high-profile exits from the Premier League to Saudi Arabia. Another Saudi side, Al-Hilal, is showing interest in acquiring Liverpool forward Luis Diaz for a significant £50 million, but Liverpool has made it clear that they have no intention of selling the Colombian player. After Liverpool's 4-2 victory against Karlsruher, Jurgen Klopp chose to keep his plans private but did admit that he decided to leave Fabinho out of the trip and Henderson out of the match due to uncertainties surrounding their future with the club. "As long as things are not really finally decided, we don’t have to talk about it. There will be a moment where we probably have to talk about it, but it’s not now," he said. "I don’t know that anything is decided, which means nothing to say in the moment. "In the end, all of these decisions are made by me. "And because I respect the players a lot, it’s usually with consent. It was in this case, and it is all fine.” In the absence of Henderson and Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold took on the role of the deepest lying midfielder in the starting lineup. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister each played half of the match in more advanced midfield positions. During the game, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo scored goals for Liverpool, while Diogo Jota sealed the victory with a late brace, the second goal assisted by Mac Allister. "The work out was good. It was intense for the boys," said Klopp. "In the first half, I liked the start, but we became stiff and didn't play as good as we could. It's early days. "First half, the kids and Dom (Szoboszlai) were the best in pressing." The Hungarian had a great time during his inaugural Reds match and eagerly anticipates playing at Anfield for his new team. "A very proud moment for me and my family as well. Really looking forward to playing many, many more games," he said. "A dream is going to come true to play there (at Anfield) for Liverpool, not against them. I cannot wait." Liverpool is shifting their focus towards finding replacements for their central midfield, and one potential candidate is Crystal Palace's Cheikh Doucoure, a newcomer to their list of possibilities. However, Crystal Palace is likely to ask for a substantial transfer fee for the 23-year-old player.
