According to GOAL citing the Mirror, Ajax is willing to let Henderson leave the team for free, and Henderson may join Sunderland, a Premier League team.
The 35-year-old England midfielder Henderson joined Ajax in January last year, making 45 appearances last season, scoring 1 goal and assisting 6 times. However, Ajax's new coach Heatinga believes that Henderson is not in his future plan, and Henderson's weekly salary reaches 100,000 pounds, and Ajax Club also hopes to save the money. Henderson has one year left on his contract, but Ajax has told Henderson that he can leave the team for free this summer.
Henderson may return to the Premier League and join the newly promoted Sunderland, who came from Sunderland youth training. As early as December last year, Sunderland had contact with Henderson. Sunderland midfielder Job Bellingham is preparing to transfer and leave the team this summer, and Dortmund is asking for a purchase. Therefore Henderson can serve as a midfielder substitute and use his extensive experience to help Sunderland relegate.
And England coach Tuchel also promised Henderson that as long as he can stay healthy and in good shape, he still has the opportunity to participate in the 2026 World Cup. Henderson started in the World Cup qualifiers in England's 1-0 victory over Andorra in the early morning of this morning, proving his importance in England.
