NafisaRangers could be lining up a high-profile transfer for Jordan Henderson in the forthcoming transfer window.
The Gers have been linked with the 34-year-old, as speculation surrounding Steven Gerrard’s potential return to Ibrox has grown in recent days.
Barry Ferguson was not part of Andrew Cavengah’s strategy at the Light Blues, and the American is now expected to engage in discussions with prospective managerial candidates.
The Glasgow side clinched the Scottish Premiership crown under the Liverpool legend, and his reappointment could pave the way for the Ajax midfielder to follow in his old teammate’s path.
Henderson to determine Ajax plans amid Rangers interest:
Henderson is poised to make a decision on his situation at Ajax in May ahead of the next transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian reporter disclosed on X (27 May) that the Premier League and Champions League-winning veteran is drawing attention from clubs beyond the Eredivisie side.
It’s been suggested that the 34-year-old iconic midfielder has the choice to activate an extra year at the Johan Cruyff Arena, though the final outcome remains uncertain.
Should the Gers rehire Gerrard, they would naturally stand a strong chance of securing a stunning move for Henderson at Ibrox.
The midfielder arrived at Liverpool in 2011 and played with the 44-year-old until 2015, before Gerrard transitioned into coaching.
Given the relationship between the two, the Light Blues might hold an advantage over rival clubs if they pursue Henderson following Gerrard’s appointment.
Gerrard return makes sense at Ibrox:
Davide Ancelotti is regarded as the leading candidate at Ibrox as Rangers persist with their hunt for a long-term manager.
Cavenagh might also opt to bring in Russell Martin, but his installation in the Light Blues’ technical area wouldn’t generate much enthusiasm among supporters.
Gerrard appears to be the ideal fit for the Bears, considering his previous achievements and experience in the Scottish top flight.
The 44-year-old may be able to leverage his network to recruit talents like Henderson and other high-calibre players from across Europe, as the Gers aim to restore silverware to G51.
Although the Ajax midfielder is past his peak, he still brings the quality and authority needed to lead the Light Blues back to prominence.
It will be intriguing to see what direction the 34-year-old chooses for his future and whether the Bears will be contenders to secure his signature.
