After going through rumors for several weeks, Liverpool and Al-Ettifaq finally reached an agreement to sign Jordan Henderson. In these negotiations Jordan Henderson agreed to a contract for 3 years and the cost is around 12 million euros plus add ons. It looks like Steven Gerrard is very adamant about signing Jordan Henderson and with this, we will see the two former Liverpool captains join the same team in the Saudi league starting next season. I didn't think that Jordan Henderson would agree to this transfer and maybe again the salary offer that was given was very tempting for any European player at this time.

This is another plus to the Saudi League and Steven Gerrard. Jordan Henderson is an experienced player that will assist to coordinate the Al-Ettifaq team. The terms of the contract were not revealed but Liverpool wanted to get at least €10m from this transfer while Al-Ettifaq wanted the experienced defender for free. This signing will open doors to more players from Europe. Al-Ettifaq needs more players to enable compete favorably with other teams like Al Hilal, Al Nassr, and Al Ittihad which have attracted some quality players.

I do not think that the question of the next season is relevant at the moment - everything should be decided now. If Kane leaves for free, then Tottenham will be in a big loss, so if Kane's departure is a definite thing, and the club knows it, then they are obliged to sell him now. The situation is similar with Mbappe, so I hope to see these two transfers now and not in a year.
Tottenham have not mandated him to sign a new contract for now. Maybe they aim to keep him for one more season because he will be useful for them to compete for the league trophy or secure a champion league slot. But if the club wants to consider the business part of the deal, the best option will be to make him extend his contract or sell him this season. Besides these two options, Tottenham will lose close to €100m if they let him leave for free next season.
