Reds fans will surely have been desperate to hear what he had to say and a lipreader has now attempted to confirm what was being said. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Alexander-Arnold's contract expires this summer and the right-back has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/sorry-liverpool-fans-trent-alexander-arnold-still-set-leave-anfield-real-madrid-despite-mixed-signals-defender-cryptic-mohamed-salah-social-media-post/blt48c8ff0c58acd4fc#cs4a23d76168fe8345" target="_blank">long been linked with a blockbuster move to Real Madrid</a>. However, both <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/virgil-van-dijk-huge-salary-revealed-liverpool-skipper-maintains-europe-highest-paid-defender-contract-extension/blt40620f87eb403315" target="_blank">Virgil van Dijk</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-mohamed-salah-staggering-new-salary-two-year-contract-extension-liverpool-man-city/bltb1acbdec09c225e2" target="_blank">Mohamed Salah</a> have been convinced to extend their deals despite links away, and Henry appears to have implored the defender to do the same. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Per Nicola Hickling, an investigative and forensic lipreader, who was speaking to <a href="https://www.olbg.com/" target="_blank">OLBG</a>, the pair's conversation went as follows:</p><p>JH: “You’ve been quiet. How did you get on?”</p><p>TAA: *nods* and says: “Being sensible.”</p><p>JH: Raises his hand slightly and says: “I want you to do the right thing”</p><p>TAA: “Yeah, yeah.”</p><p>JH: “Best way and don't panic.”</p><p>TAA: “Should I decide?”</p><p>JH: He nods very slowly and says: “Absolutely.” and then turns to say: “Let them know.”</p><p>TAA: Nods in agreement.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A huge embrace between head coach Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes - two big appointments had to be made last year and Liverpool nailed them both. <a href="https://t.co/fTf1SPewk5">pic.twitter.com/fTf1SPewk5</a></p>— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1916549123513164232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 27, 2025</a></blockquote>
