Juventus are considering a loan move for Al Ettifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson, according to Sky in Italy.
The former Liverpool captain wants to leave Al Ettifaq after joining the Saudi club in the summer.
Sky in Italy claim a possible stumbling block in any potential move by Juventus would be the length of the loan deal. Henderson is reportedly hoping for an 18-month agreement, while Juve would only consider a deal until the end of the season.
The 33-year-old cost Al Ettifaq in the region of £13m and they are reported to be paying him a weekly wage of around £350,000.
Results on the pitch have been indifferent, with Al Ettifaq winless in the Saudi Pro League since late October and languishing in eighth place, some 28 points behind leaders Al Hilal.
Speaking to The Athletic in September, Jordan Henderson said:
"People will see this club come with loads of money and he's just gone, 'Yeah, I'm going'. When in reality that just wasn't the case at all. People can believe me or not, but in my life and my career, money has never been a motivation. Ever.
"So do I go somewhere to try something new, to grow the game that I love in another country, and grow the league into one of the best in the world? That excites me because I want to grow the sport all over the world. And that got me going, really.
"I think there was always going to be criticism regardless of what I did, whether I stayed, whether I went. So basically I had to make the decision on what was best for me and my family.
"Now, when I was making the decision, the way that I tried to look at it was I felt as though, by myself not going, we can all bury our heads in the sand and criticise different cultures and different countries from afar. But then nothing's going to happen.
