Liverpool have reportedly held talks with club captain Jordan Henderson regarding a contract extension, but the two parties are yet to make any progress.

According to The Athletic, the Reds are keen to avoid a situation like Gini Wijnaldum and Henderson could be sold if the two parties fail to agree a new deal.

The Dutch international recently left Liverpool on a free transfer after his contract expired earlier this summer.

As we reported earlier today, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on Henderson’s situation.

He has a contract with the Premier League club until 2023 and will be 33-years-old when it expires.

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have a policy of investing in youth and are reluctant to offer lucrative contracts to players in their 30s.

Henderson has been a key player for the Reds since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, helping the club win the Premier League and the Champions League.

However, his recent injury record could be a cause for concern. The midfielder missed 17 games across all competitions last season.

Some Liverpool fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the situation – here is what they had to say.

If he’s allowed to leave before players like Keïta & Ox then get the owners gone! Cannot believe what I am reading to be honest.

If Henderson leaves to PSG, FSG would have basically handed over Klopp’s midfield engine and our two best midfielders in their absolute Prime to a major champions league competitor….turning us back into a selling club with small ambitions.
