Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle worth £12m plus add-ons to sell midfielder Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq.
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was recently appointed as manager of Al-Ettifaq.
Henderson, 33, has two years remaining on his contract at Anfield.
The agreement for Henderson follows Liverpool receiving a £40m offer from Al-Ittihad for fellow midfielder Fabinho last Friday.
Unlike Henderson, the 29-year-old Brazil international did not travel to Germany while his future is resolved.
The England midfielder joined the Reds from Sunderland in a deal worth £20m in June 2011.
Henderson made 43 appearances for Liverpool last season as they endured a disappointing campaign by finishing fifth in the Premier League and missing out on a place in the Champions League.
Overall, he has played 491 times for the Reds, scoring 33 goals and registering 58 assists.
Henderson was captain when Liverpool lifted the Champions League in 2019 before going on to win the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup later that year.
He was also the Reds skipper when the club won the 2019-20 Premier League title to end a 30-year wait for the English top-flight title.
Henderson's other honours at Liverpool include winning the FA Cup in 2022 and League Cup in 2012 and 2022.
