Henry is said to have sought counsel from former Manchester United executive Ed Woodward regarding Mohamed Salah's contract situation back in 2022.

Fast forward to the 2024/25 season, and Arne Slot's Liverpool are off to a flying start, yet the future of Salah at Anfield remains up in the air.

In an astonishing revelation by the Daily Mail, it appears that Woodward, whose tenure at United ended in April 2022, played a role in the negotiations for what could be Salah's final contract offer from Liverpool.

In the lead-up to the 2022 Champions League final, which saw Liverpool fall short with a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid, it's reported that majority owner Henry was keen on securing Salah's future at Anfield with a new deal, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Mohamed Salah was facing an uncertain future at Anfield prior to the Champions League final in 2022.

Woodward, with his background in accounting and investment banking, surprisingly became a consultant to Henry on how to handle Salah's contract situation

Drawing from his own experience at United, particularly after handing David de Gea a hefty contract in 2019, Woodward offered insights to help Liverpool navigate potential pitfalls.

Rewinding to December 2020, following a victory over Tottenham, Salah expressed his discontent in an interview with Spanish reporters, revealing his "very disappointed" sentiment for not being named the stand-in captain in a less critical Champions League match earlier that month.

He also referred to Real Madrid and Barcelona as 'top clubs', suggesting that his future at Anfield was in the hands of Liverpool's decision-makers

Salah's interview was seen by the Reds as a way to appeal to a Spanish audience, potentially strengthening his position in any future negotiations set to begin the following summer - two years before his contract ends.

Since then, the 32 year old has consistently proven his value to the Reds, and could even lead them to another Premier League title this season after a dream weekend for Liverpool in terms of results at the top of the table
