Jordan Henderson seemed on the precipice of transferring to Juventus for about a day or two. The chatter was quickly downplayed. Director Cristiano Giuntoli stated they wouldn’t sign anybody in January a couple of days ago. He’s headed to Ajax instead. He’ll complete the move in short order, Sky Sports UK informs.
The Bianconeri were linked with a potential loan acquisition, but Al Ettifaq shut the door on a that. The veteran will transfer with a different formula, terminating his contract and signing a two-and-half-year deal with the Dutch side. He’ll take the medicals on Wednesday.
Juventus were proposed Henderson by intermediaries and seriously mulled bringing him in mostly due to his experience at a top-tier club. Ajax moved more swiftly and decisively. He’ll make roughly €7M per year, The Mirror reports.
According to Calciomercato, the director might not have been entirely truthful with his statements. Moreover, his addendum “at the moment” is noteworthy. The Old Lady could still make an acquisition if somebody departed. Federico Bernardeschi will wait for them until the last moment.
Our Take on Juventus and Henderson
He would have been a decent flier, but he was no longer cheap following his contract rescission. Despite their declarations, the Bianconeri will surely keep probing the market for opportunities. Moise Kean will probably be replaced by a midfielder or a more versatile attacker if he does leave rumored. But they have to proceed with one out, one in due to their financial limitations.
