"Story closed": Farioli rules out Henderson’s winter exit from Ajax
In the final days of the winter transfer window, speculation intensified over Jordan Henderson’s potential departure from Ajax to Monaco. However, Amsterdam’s head coach Francesco Farioli sees things differently.
Details: The Ajax manager made it clear that Henderson is staying at the club this winter, putting an end to all transfer talks.
Quote: “Jordan Henderson is definitely staying—he is our captain. The story is closed, 100 percent,” Farioli stated at a press conference.
Reminder: This season, Henderson has played 32 matches for Ajax across all competitions, providing five assists but yet to score a goal.
Reports previously suggested that the 34-year-old midfielder was keen on a move to Monaco and even issued an ultimatum by refusing to play for Ajax. However, despite the speculation, he still featured for 77 minutes in the Europa League match against Beşiktaş.
