Jordan Henderson’s move to AS Monaco definitively off | OneFootball

Jordan Henderson (34) has confirmed that he will stay at Ajax, at least until the end of the season, putting an end to AS Monaco’s pursuit of the former Liverpool captain.

As initially reported by Fabrizio Romano, Henderson recently emerged as the No.1 target. However, there have been plenty of twists and turns and on Friday evening, David Ornstein reported that the deal was off with the England international going back on his decision and promising to remain with Ajax until the end of the season.

However, L’Équipe reported in the early hours of Saturday morning that the move could still be on. Henderson, having made a U-turn, promising to remain with the Dutch side, made another U-turn, once again stating his desire to complete a move to Monaco.

This version of events has been contested by Henderson himself during a fiery press conference over the weekend. Without going into the details of the situation, he was nonetheless definitive in drawing a line under the transfer saga. “There were difficult talks. I said what I thought but – together – we arrived at the conclusion that I should stay. I am happy about that. I will give everything for the club and the team,” said the Englishman. His contract with the Eredivisie side runs until 2026.
