Jordan Henderson chased the money but paid the price in Saudi Arabia!
He left Liverpool after 12 years, changed continents, went to Saudi Arabia on a terrible salary… a week and since then, he has never been paid. The incredible story of Jordan Henderson with Al-Ettifaq, which became known a few hours before he landed in the Netherlands, on behalf of Ajax!

Many believe that our choices define us. And they are not wrong. With them we go and time proves whether they were correct, hasty or completely wrong.
In the case of Jordan Henderson, everything shows that his departure from Liverpool was, in effect, simply a move that did not pay off in the slightest. He left a club he was deeply associated with, left Europe, signed for Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq and six months later, is paying his own club to let him move to the Netherlands on loan for Ajax.
It sounds and is… all wrong, but the worst-case scenario, we haven't told you yet. It concerns Henderson's wages at his current club, with the experienced Englishman leaving Liverpool for £350,000-a-week, which he has yet to receive in his coffers. And according to English reports, Henderson may never be paid by Al-Ettifaq for his earnings in the previous six months.
The reason; Because as he himself decided, he knew that they might create a problem for him, regarding British taxation. So he asked for the payment to be delayed, so that he can return to England in the future, but sources around the footballer point out that this may never happen.
