Henderson is expected to return to Sunderland, Ajax agrees to release for free

Recommended Network reported on June 8 that according to GOAL, citing the Mirror, Ajax Club has issued a notice to England midfielder Henderson, allowing him to terminate the contract for free this summer. Henderson joined Ajax in January last year. Last season, he played 45 times for the team, scored 1 goal and had 6 assists, and his performance was remarkable. However, after Ajax's new coach Heiting took office, he believed that Henderson was not in the team's future plans. With Henderson's weekly salary of up to 100,000 pounds, the club hoped to save this expense, so he decided to terminate the contract with him early, although Henderson's contract has one year left.

Henderson may return to the Premier League and join the newly promoted Sunderland. Henderson comes from Sunderland youth training and has a deep relationship with the team. Sunderland had contact with Henderson as early as December last year. Currently, Sunderland midfielder Job Bellingham is preparing to transfer and leave the team this summer. Dortmund is looking for a purchase. If Henderson joins, he can serve as a midfielder substitute and use his rich experience to help Sunderland relegate.

In addition, England coach Tuchel also promised Henderson that he still has the opportunity to participate in the 2026 World Cup as long as he can stay healthy and in good shape. In the World Cup qualifiers in England's 1-0 victory over Andorra in the early morning of this morning, Henderson started, proving his important position in England.
