Liverpool have asked for £10m for the signing of Jordan Henderson, should Al-Ettifaq remain keen on the prospect of landing the Anfield skipper.
The Saudi Pro League outfit were understood to be keen on snapping the Englishman up on a free transfer – despite his contract not expiring until 2025 – but the Merseysiders have made it clear that this is a scenario they will not be prepared to sanction, according to a tweet from Fabrizio Romano.
