Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has completed his move to Al Ettifaq.
The 33-year-old posted a farewell message to Reds fans on Wednesday, ending a 12-year stay at the club during which he won every major trophy.
Liverpool will receive an initial £12m from the Saudi Pro League club.
A number of parties including Liverpool LGBTQ+ fan group Kop Out and former professional footballer Thomas Hitzlsperger have released statements criticising the move.
Homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, while the state stands accused of a host of other abuses including placing harsh restrictions on women’s rights and the right to political protest.
“Jordan Henderson is of course free to play for whoever he chooses, but we would urge him to examine Saudi Arabia’s human rights record and be prepared to speak out about human rights violations in the country,” Amnesty’s UK economic affairs director Peter Frankental said last week.
