Jordan Henderson is reportedly being considered for a surprising January transfer to Juventus, just a few months after his controversial move to the Saudi Pro League.

Gianluca Di Marzio states that Juventus is interested in Henderson to bolster their squad and has initiated contact regarding a potential loan deal.

Despite being with Al-Ettifaq for a short time, Henderson is reportedly seeking an 18-month loan, aligning with the initial part of his 2+1 contract with the Saudi club.

Recently labelled as 'desperate' to return to the Premier League due to disappointing results, lacklustre crowds, and rumoured difficulties adapting both on and off the pitch, Henderson's potential departure could lead to significant financial consequences.

Leaving now might mean giving up substantial wages and facing a substantial tax bill, as the 'tax-free' incentive in his contract activates only after two years in Saudi Arabia.

This move has led to a tarnished reputation, with Henderson perceived to have sacrificed his principles for financial gain, especially given his previous visible support for LGBTQ+ rights.

Initial reports from his July move suggested Henderson's Saudi Arabian contract, spanning up to three years, is valued at nearly £700,000 ($892,000) per week—more than three times his Liverpool salary.

A departure in January could potentially result in him having to repay £7 million ($9 million) in taxes.

Despite continued selections by England manager Gareth Southgate, Henderson may view a return to an elite league as crucial for his chances of playing a significant role in Euro 2024.

Juventus, on the other hand, might need to offload a player to accommodate the 33-year-old, with Moise Kean being mentioned by Di Marzio as a possible candidate for departure.
