Everything you need to know about Jordan Henderson's salary details playing for Ajax
England international and Liverpool legend Jordan Henderson left Anfield in 2023 to join Saudi side Al-Ettifaq after spending 12 seasons with the Merseyside club. However, the English midfielder didn’t quite feel at home in Saudi Arabia, making a return to Europe just a year later by joining Eredivisie side Ajax in January 2024.
The veteran midfielder has proven to be a valuable addition to Ajax’s young squad, offering much-needed stability and leadership in midfield.
Henderson’s current contract with Ajax runs until 2026, accompanied by a hefty paycheck for his services. He currently ranks as one of the highest-paid players at the club and across the league.
Exactly how much does he earn, though?
