Mohamed Salah has continued to dominate the headlines for Liverpool this season due to his exploits on and off the pitch.

The Egyptian has been one of the most in-form players in world football this season and has already notched up 16 goals and 13 assists across all competitions for Arne Slot.

Off the pitch, his contract standoff with the club is well documented with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.

And now, Liverpool owner John Henry’s thoughts on the matter have emerged ahead of a crucial period for the Reds.

John Henry wants Mohamed Salah to stay at Liverpool

Earlier this season, Salah said he was disappointed with Liverpool as he hadn’t been offered a new contract at the time, although he did signal his desire to remain at Anfield.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk’s futures also hanging in the balance, the Reds took their time before being called into action.

Salah has now been offered a new contract by Liverpool, which is an indication that the drawn-out saga is finally set to conclude soon.

And now, Caught Offside report that Henry is believed to be happy with how the situation has panned out, with the Liverpool owner privately stating that it is an advantageous deal for everyone involved as Salah is of ‘great importance’ to the club.

Salah’s Liverpool record so far

The Egyptian is surely one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history and has shown that his remarkable consistency can continue well into his 30s.

Offering Salah a new contract was a no-brainer for Liverpool, but the Anfield faithful currently face a nervous wait for him to put pen to paper.

The 32-year-old was offered a new contract in the summer of 2022 in a saga that drew to a happy conclusion, and Liverpool fans will hope for the same this time around as they wait patiently for an official announcement.
