The former Liverpool captain is now back in the England squad, but Ajax management are ready to move forward without the veteran. Henderson's £100,000-a-week wages are the biggest issue for Ajax chiefs.
Watching developments are Sunderland, where Henderson began his pro career before being sold to Liverpool.
Henderson would be open to a return to Wearside knowing England coach Thomas Tuchel has told him he can keep his place so long as he is playing consistently.
However, he will have to accept a hefty cut on his Ajax salary to make the switch.
