Jordan Henderson is back in Portugal ahead of his pre-season comeback and is showing off his impressive physique as he prepares for the 2023-24 season.

Liverpool’s pre-season kicks off on Saturday, almost six weeks after the end of the Premier League season, but the captain returns three days later.

Having played 117 minutes for England in two Euro 2024 qualifiers, Henderson, along with Liverpool’s other internationals, will be part of the second wave of players returning to training.

But that doesn’t mean the Reds just put their feet up, as everyone will have been given a bespoke routine to follow throughout the summer.

And it is clear that Henderson has been working with the skipper in fine form as he prepares to return to the AXA Training Center.

In a post shared to his social media Tuesday, Henderson shared photos of his workout at the gym along with a motivational quote: “Don’t dream about winning. Train for it!”

The midfielder returned to a popular training venue for the club in the Algarve, Portugal, in a fitness center designed for athletes and sports enthusiasts.

It’s the 33-year-old’s second consecutive summer training session in the Algarve: last summer he partnered up with former Red Danny Ings.

The captain will know he has a great season ahead of him as the Liverpool midfield has been rebuilt following the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Henderson made 43 appearances last season and played the seventh most minutes of any Liverpool player (2,558), but questions have been raised about his future role.

It is possible to play a similar role to the now deceased James Milner, but Henderson is clearly ensuring he is in the best possible shape to be a reliable figure for Jurgen Klopp in 2023/24.

Liverpool is ready to offer £77million and is confident they’ll secure signing – Report

Liverpool have been chasing Uruguayan international and Real Madrid star Federico Valverde for some time, and this time they believe the signing can be completed.

According to a Spanish source, Nacional, the South American midfielder was tempted to leave the Bernabeu when the Reds moved in with an offer last summer.

A fee of €80m was offered by the Merseysiders, but chairman Florentino Perez chose to decline it.
Now Liverpool have prepared an offer worth 90 million euros (£77 million) and they are confident of finally signing Valverde.

According to the Catalan outlet, the Anfield club believe Los Blancos will accept the £77m offer and if it is rejected again, they are willing to pay even more.

Valverde only earns a salary of €4m per season and certainly deserves a raise after helping Real Madrid win every title.

However, the Spanish giants spent a lot of money to lure Bellingham and now have a crowded midfield department.

Moreover, they are even after Kylian Mbappé and need to raise funds to poach the French international from Paris Saint-Germain. So there are doubts over Valverde’s future.

Liverpool have already spent around £95million bringing in the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to bolster their midfield department.

Do you think Klopp will have to spend a large sum to sign the versatile Real Madrid superstar?

Two of Saudi Arabia’s biggest clubs in talk with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah over transfer

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia as two of the country’s biggest clubs have been in contact with the Egyptian international about a potential move.

The 31-year-old is a hugely popular figure in the Arab world and it would be great for Saudi Arabia to lure the winger into their league this summer amongst the big names they have already signed.

According to Rudy Galetti, both Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are looking to sign Salah and have already made contact about a transfer.

The journalist told GIVEMESPORT about Saudi Arabia’s interest in the Liverpool star: “He has definitely attracted the attention of Saudi clubs.

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are currently the clubs that have shown the most interest in Mohammed Salah . Contacts are ongoing and both clubs are trying to determine if there is room for negotiations.”

Salah has another contract at Anfield until 2025 and the winger is expected to follow. The 31-year-old is still one of Jurgen Klopp’s key players and will want to be part of the rebuild which starts next season.

The Egypt international could one day play in Saudi Arabia but it’s difficult for Salah to make the move anytime soon as there is still a long way to go at Liverpool.
