Liverpool duo Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have not received bids to join Saudi Arabian clubs
There has been much talk about the future of Liverpool midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, but so far, no concrete offers have been made for either player.
<p>
Speculation surrounding the future of Liverpool midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho has not yet translated into actual bids for the players. </p>
<p>
The interest in Henderson, in particular, from Al Ettifaq - managed by former team-mate Steven Gerrard - has resulted in claims the 33-year-old has already decided to accept a deal worth a reported £700,000 per week. </p>
<p>
However, Liverpool will not allow their captain, who has two years remaining on his contract, to leave for free despite suggestions on the contrary emanating from the Middle East. </p>
<p>
The £20 million Al Hilal spent on Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly, 32, this summer is seen as a more realistic benchmark. </p>
<p>
Fabinho is being linked with a move to Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad, one of four Saudi Arabian clubs owned by the country's Public Investment Fund, who are reportedly willing to pay £40 million for a player who turns 30 in October. </p>
<p>
But it is understood so far there has been no offer for him either and with the squad due to depart for their pre-season camp in Germany on Saturday both players are expected to travel having returned to training earlier this week. </p>
<p>
Liverpool's midfield is undergoing a revamp this summer, with the experienced James Milner joining Brighton and the contracts of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita expiring. </p>
<p>
They have been replaced by Argentina's World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, aged 24, and 22-year-old Hungary captain Dominik Szobozslai for a combined £95 million. </p>
<p>
That may mean reduced playing time for Henderson, who has lifted every elite trophy during his captaincy of the club, but he remains an integral part of the dressing room. </p>
