Liverpool have reportedly made little progress in discussions over a new contract for midfielder Jordan Henderson.

The England international has enjoyed a legendary spell at Anfield, leading the Merseyside giants to Premier League and Champions League crowns in recent years.

While the 31-year-old missed the final three months of the last campaign through injury, he remains a key figure both on and off the pitch.

However, according to The Athletic, Liverpool may be prepared to cash in on Henderson if they continue to make minimal progress in talks over a new deal.

The report claims that persisting with negotiations with the player and his representatives are not regarded as a priority by sporting director Michael Edwards.

Despite Henderson having two years remaining on his contract, Liverpool are wary about losing another key player on a free transfer after the recent exit of Georginio Wijnaldum.
