Liverpool
Jordan Henderson “offered” to two of the biggest teams in Europe, but Jürgen Klopp emphasises Liverpool’s reality.

Jordan Henderson, the former captain of Liverpool, has had interest in returning, but Jürgen Klopp has summed up the current situation.
Jordan Henderson might have been three matches away from another historic Liverpool trophy lift if he had made different choices last summer. He’d be dreaming of a quadruple too, for the second time in three seasons.
Instead, if the Daily Mail is to be believed, he’s over in Saudi Arabia, frantically looking for a way out. The only thing keeping his present manager, Steven Gerrard, from losing his job is the small number of fans who are attending this disgraceful game.
Two of Liverpool’s new midfield additions, making up seventy-five percent of the midfield, were unable to start the FA Cup match against Arsenal. Bobby Clark had made his introduction by the time the match ended. Henderson was aware that if he stayed at Anfield, he would not be a sure starter, but there would have been minutes available.
Liverpool, meanwhile, hasn’t looked back and won’t do so anytime soon. Jürgen Klopp was questioned about Henderson’s situation and the likelihood of a comeback following the victory. The manager’s expression certainly said more about him than his response, but when the two last spoke, he affirmed that this was not a matter on the agenda.
So what’s next for Henderson? It is evident that he still has the trust of England boss Gareth Southgate, which must be confusing to Curtis Jones, who has brought such vitality to a once-stagnant Liverpool midfield. However, considering his current salary, it’s difficult to imagine many clubs choosing to take the risk.
Bayern Munich and Juventus have reportedly made an offer for Henderson, according to talkSPORT. In addition, ‘nearly every Premier League club’ and Bayer Leverkusen have expressed interest in him.
However, Al-Ettifaq has not made such offer because it does not want to approve of a sale and believes that his salary will probably be a barrier to obtaining a loan. An interested party would have to work hard to negotiate a transaction given these obstacles.
According to Liverpool.com, could teams like Juventus or Bayern Munich actually attempt to free Henderson from Saudi Arabia at a substantial financial expense? Taking him on as a low-risk wager would be one thing, but the 33-year-old has an extremely weak hand because his club is not a willing seller.
If things were different, it would be simple to feel bad for him. However, when Henderson signed on the dotted line and prioritised money over a plethora of other factors, all of this was ludicrously foreseeable. Liverpool has fully moved on, and the midfield player may also need to find a way to accept his decision.

Carragher selects two men to take Salah’s place at Liverpool – It’ll be intriguing
Harvey Elliot and Dominik Szoboszlai have been selected by Liverpool great Jamie Carragher to take Mohamed Salah’s position when he leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) later this month.
On Monday night, Salah scored two goals for Liverpool against Newcastle United while playing in outstanding form.
The Reds’ victory sent them three points clear atop the Premier League standings, and the Egyptian international also contributed an assist.
Salah’s final game for Liverpool before joining the Egypt team was the encounter against Newcastle.
If Egypt advances to the AFCON final in Ivory Coast, Salah may miss up to eight games for Liverpool, which would provide manager Jurgen Klopp with a difficult offensive situation.
But before Salah leaves for the AFCON, Carragher has picked Elliot and Szoboszlai to fill in for him.
Carragher told Sky Sports, “It will be very interesting to see who he puts in that position.”
Numerous strikers for Liverpool have right footedness. While Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo all appear to be capable of going on the left, nobody appears to have the proper balance to go on the right.
“Harvey Elliot is one of the alternatives. Although he lacks the speed to play in the front three, I believe he is more of a midfield midfielder.
Additionally, Szoboszlai. With Alexis Mac Allister back, Liverpool have a lot of alternatives in the midfield; Szoboszlai played there for his previous team.
“But it will be very difficult to replace his [Salah’s] goals.”
