Henderson's reason for leaving Liverpool has shocked everyone

Beyond the exponential growth that Liverpool had at the end of the season that made them fight with Manchester United for several moments that fourth and final ticket to Champions League, the whole club is now aware that once the game against Southampton ends things will change a lot in the squad for the football year 2023-2024, and the departure of players like James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Roberto Firmino with the clear indicator of renewal time on Merseyside.

After the farewells at Anfield for those players who will no longer be at Anfield next season, players of Jordan Henderson's stature know that his place in the team is in danger due to the restructuring process, which he will have to face with the arrival of players who will most likely take his place and detract from a starting role that he has held for a long time.

Faced with a scenario where he will have less playing time and will no longer be captain of the team, Henderson could gradually see his success at Liverpool decline, leading him not only to become a regular on the bench but also a player who will no longer be expected to be re-signed and a younger, fresher player will be brought in, possibly ending his time with the Reds in a farewell at Anfield as happened with an experienced midfielder like James Milner.

Henderson still wants to remain among Europe's elite

Should Jordan Henderson fail to establish himself in a starting role for Liverpool next season, the midfielder will be determined to leave the club in search of new opportunities on the continent, and while his age may appear to be his main disadvantage, he makes up for it perfectly with his experience, having played countless games for the Reds and even worn the captain's armband.
