Dismal stadium attendance, and lifestyle restrictions — let’s take a look at the top footballers desperate to leave the Saudi Pro League due to failing expectations.
Jordan Henderson
The former Liverpool captain knew he made a mistake as soon as he put pen to paper. The move was strange from the beginning, obviously motivated by the absurd $444,000 per week salary. But it turns out money can’t buy happiness for the 33-year-old.
The England international is set to leave Al-Ettifaq with immediate effect after terminating his contract. He will willingly forgo his wages to return to Europe, specifically Ajax, in order to get back on Gareth Southgate‘s radar ahead of Euro 2024.

All parties are working to iron out final details of the contract today.

Karim Benzema
Benzema too, was wooed by Ronaldo’s influence and the sweet siren song of money — lots of it! But the French superstar has lost his patience in the Middle East despite his $213 million per year salary and wants a quick return to European football.
The unhappy Al-Ittihad player is on the search for his next club, with Arsenal heavily linked for the Ballon d’Or winner on a loan deal. Chelsea too, are huge admirers and most likely to scupper Arteta’s plans yet again.
Roberto Firmino
Henderson’s former teammate Roberto Firmino is also desperate to leave Saudi Arabia. But doing so could mean the Premier League’s greatest false 9 goes to Chelsea instead of going back to his beloved Liverpool. Certainly, that would sting some Reds fans a bit.
Said Liverpool legend John Aldridge: “I was surprised to see Roberto Firmino has been linked with a move to Chelsea this month. I know it’s not happening for him in Saudi Arabia. For what he has done for Liverpool, if that ends up being what he wants, so be it.”
