Jordan Henderson is unlikely to return to the Premier League with Al Ettifaq determined to keep hold of their star man, talkSPORT understands.
Reports claim ex-Liverpool captain Henderson wants a return to the Premier League after failing to settle in Saudi Arabia.
However, Al Ettifaq would not consider selling the England midfielder unless they receive an astronomical offer to make significant profit on the money paid for him in July.
Sources close to the Saudi Pro League club say Henderson has not yet submitted a transfer request.
Manager Steven Gerrard is building his side around the 33-year-old and Al-Ettifaq are determined not to lose him just months after completing his £12million switch.
The deal brought an end to the midfielder’s 12-year stay with Liverpool where he became captain and a modern-day club legend.

His move to Saudi Arabia didn’t come without controversy though amid criticism over the Kingdom’s treatment of LGBTQ+ people, given Henderson’s previous support of the community.
Playing under Liverpool legend Gerrard, the 33-year-old has struggled to help his new club build any sort of form with the manager’s position coming under pressure as a result.
A return to England would be costly for Henderson, though, with a return likely to cost him millions in tax and lost wages.
