Jordan Henderson’s future at Ajax in doubt amid cost-cutting measures

Jordan Henderson's future at Ajax is uncertain due to financial constraints. The former Liverpool captain, who joined the club in January, is among the club's highest earners, earning £85,000-a-week. Ajax's current fifth-placed position in the Eredivisie could lead to offloading key players, including Henderson and Steven Bergwijn. The club is also seeking a new manager, with Graham Potter rejected and Erik ten Hag potentially returning if sacked.

Jordan Henderson's Future At Ajax In Doubt Amid Cost Cutting Measures

Jordan Henderson’s future at Ajax is uncertain as the club looks to cut costs due to financial constraints. The former Liverpool captain joined Ajax in January after a brief stint at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. Henderson, who arrived as a free agent, is among the club’s highest earners, reportedly earning £85,000-a-week after taking a pay cut from his previous £350,000-a-week salary.

Ajax’s financial situation has been exacerbated by their current position in the Eredivisie, where they sit fifth in the table. Failure to qualify for European competitions next season could lead to the club offloading key players to balance the books. Henderson and Steven Bergwijn are among the players who could be sold, according to reports.

Additionally, Ajax is searching for a new manager as current boss John van’t Schip is set to step down at the end of the season. Graham Potter was reportedly in talks to replace him but has rejected the offer. Erik ten Hag, currently under pressure at Manchester United, has been linked with a return to Ajax if he is sacked by the Red Devils.
