The British newspaper The Sun revealed that Brentford reached an agreement with English midfielder Jordan Henderson to terminate the contract between the two parties, paving the way for his transfer to Chelsea during the current summer transfer window.
According to the report, Brentford agreed to end Henderson's contract by mutual consent, opening the way for the player to join Chelsea in a free transfer deal, without the London club bearing any financial compensation.
The newspaper added that the 36-year-old player is on the verge of completing his transfer to the "Blues", after the two parties reached a full agreement on the deal, pending the official announcement in the coming period.
Chelsea seeks to benefit from the experience of the former Liverpool captain to bolster the midfield before the start of the new season, especially given the technical staff's desire to add an element with extensive experience at both the domestic and European levels.
