Henderson: Juventus put talks with former Liverpool captain on hold as ex-Roma star emerges

According to Tuttosport, Juventus have put talks with Jordan Henderson on hold but have been offered the chance to sign Nemanja Matic from Rennes.

Juventus are considering whether to add a new central midfielder to their squad in the second part of the campaign and Henderson has emerged as a concrete option for the Old Lady.

However, according to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri boss Massimiliano Allegri is not entirely convinced about signing the ex-Liverpool midfielder in January, while Juventus have offered the 33-year-old a six-month contract with an option to extend for a further season.

According to the report, the English midfielder has demanded an 18-month deal until June 2025 so talks between the two parties have been put on hold.

As things stand, Henderson seems likely to terminate his contract with Al-Ettifaq and join Ajax on a free transfer instead of Juventus.

Still according to Tuttosport, the Old Lady has been offered a chance to sign former Roma star Matic who could leave Rennes this month.

The ex-Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder is not seen as a priority by Juventus and has also been offered to Milan.
