The transition should take place in the coming hours
The transfer of the midfielder is fully agreed Jordan Henderson from Al-Ittifaqa V Ajax.
As journalist Fabrizio Romano reports, the Englishman will go to Amsterdam today, January 18, to undergo a medical examination and sign a contract.

Henderson signed a three-year contract with Al-Ittifaq in the summer of 2023 after 12 seasons at Liverpool. The midfielder reacted sharply to the criticism, saying that he wanted new challenges and participation in building a new league and club.
For Al Ittifaq, led by fellow Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, Jordan made 17 appearances in the Saudi Pro League, registering no goals but four assists.
Ajax underwent a major overhaul last summer and made a terrible start to the season, sitting at the bottom of the Eredivisie table. In less than six months, the team has had four coaches, currently from Amsterdam as acting coach. led by club legend Jon van’t Schip.
Things gradually improved: from the beginning of November, Ajax scored 20 points in eight rounds and rose to fifth place in the championship. Also, following the results of last year, the Amsterdam giant was eliminated from the Europa League, but will continue to play in the Conference League – its opponent in the playoff round will be Boudet/Glimt.
