Thierry Henry has publicly criticized Mohamed Salah for his recent comments regarding his contract situation at Liverpool. Henry believes Salah made a mistake by discussing his departure possibilities from the club in the media. According to Henry, such matters should be handled privately between the player and the club rather than aired publicly, as this can create unnecessary tension and distract from team unity.

Henry acknowledged Salah’s exceptional talent and contribution to Liverpool but emphasized that negotiations and contract talks are sensitive subjects that require discretion. He implied that going public with contract disputes can harm both the player’s and the club’s reputations and complicate negotiations.

Mohamed Salah had previously expressed feeling "more in control" of his career and future by speaking openly about contract issues, hinting at potential dissatisfaction with Liverpool’s handling of the talks. However, Henry’s stance suggests that professionalism in handling such internal matters is crucial, even for star players.

This criticism from Henry has sparked discussions among fans and analysts about how public athletes should manage contract negotiations and media statements, balancing transparency with professionalism. Henry’s experience as a former player and now pundit adds weight to his opinion, reflecting a common view in football circles that contract and transfer talks are best kept behind closed doors to maintain focus on performance.
