Liverpool could lose two important members of their midfield line-up as they are in advanced talks with clubs in Saudi Arabia

It seems that the bottomless pocket of clubs from Saudi Arabia is far from exhausted. Two clubs are now in advanced talks with other Premier League players and both are Liverpool footballers.

The summer transfer window so far clearly belongs to the clubs from Saudi Arabia who are attracting the big names of world football and these are not just footballers in the twilight of their careers, but players who could have a lot ahead of them in Europe.

Al Hilal recently completed the transfer of Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves and Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. He is now targeting Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who had informed his club of his intention to leave.

Apparently, two more Premier League footballers could be heading to Saudi Arabia very soon. Al Ettifaq, managed by Steven Gerrard, has shown serious interest in Jordan Henderson.

The England midfielder had already accepted the offer and now an agreement between the clubs is pending as Liverpool have no interest in letting their captain go for free. If this transfer becomes a reality, Jordan Henderson would play under the coach from whom he took over the captain’s armband at Liverpool.

Like a bolt from the blue, a report has come from Fabrizio Romano informing of the interest of Al Ittihad club in the services of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho.

His representatives and the club’s management are now sorting out personal terms. The amount of the salary and the length of the contract. However, no official offer has been made to Liverpool so far.

Nuno Espirito Santo, Al Ittihad’s head coach, has identified Fabinho as a primary target and a key player for his back line. The Brazilian footballer would eventually join Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante.

Roberto Firmino, Edouard Mendy, Marcelo Brozovic and Kalidou Koulibaly have also already completed their transfers to Saudi Arabia during the summer.
