Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle with Saudi Pro League outfit Al Ettifaq for captain Jordan Henderson, sources have confirmed to 90min.

The 33-year-old became Steven Gerrard's top target when the Anfield legend was appointed manager of Al Ettifaq earlier this month, as 90min revealed, and now talks have progressed.

Henderson has been offered a huge tax free contract worth a staggering £100,000-per-day to make the move to the Middle East that is edging closer towards completion.

Since an agreement on personal terms was reached, the two clubs have been locked in talks over a transfer fee, with Liverpool initially demanding £20m for Henderson. Al Ettifaq have now agreed terms on a deal worth around £15m in total - the initial fee is £12m, which is then inflated by add-ons.
