Manager says it was ‘tough decision’ for player to join Al-Ettifaq‘People will only appreciate him properly after he has left’
Jürgen Klopp has claimed it was a “really, really tough decision” for Jordan Henderson to leave Liverpool for a £700,000-a-week deal in Saudi Arabia after confirmation of the midfielder’s transfer to Al-Ettifaq. Fabinho could soon join his former teammate in the Saudi Pro League after being omitted from Liverpool’s pre-season trip to Singapore.
Henderson posted a farewell to Liverpool supporters on Instagram on Wednesday, after he was filmed training with Steven Gerrard’s squad in Croatia, and his exit was confirmed almost 17 hours later.
