Liverpool and Mohamed Salah seem a long way away from agreeing terms on a new contract as things stand.

The Egypt international is currently set to walk out of Anfield on a free transfer when his terms expire i🥂n July – revealing to NBC Sports Soccer that Liverpool are yet to actually offer him 🐠a new deal.

TBR Football understand PSG have made a move for Salah amidst the uncertainty.

In the meantime, the Liverpool No.11 is performing to an otherworldly level, scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists in just 20 appearances across all competitions so far this season, putting the Reds top of 🔯the Prem❀ier League and the UEFA Champions League.

In that respect, why would Liverpool not offer the Egyptian a new deal?

Sources inform TBR Football that Liverpool have longevity concerns over Salah as he holds out for a new deal running until the summer of 2027 – with Fenway Sports Group (FSG) wary of him being able to maintain his brilliance for that l🍃ong, as he approaches his 33rd birthday in June.

On that note, let’s take a look at the players with the most Premier League goals after turning 30 – with Liverpool currently doubtful over whether Mohamed Salah will age like a fine wine.

Jamie Vardy tops list of Premier League goalscorers in their thirties

Leicester City No.9 Jamie Vardy leads the way in ꦫthis department – remarkably scoring 104 goals in 225 Premier League appearances after turning 30.

With all due respect to the Englishman, he has admitted to ingesting a pre-match diet more akin to a Sunday League player thaꦕn a Premier League star, so Salah is surely capable of emulating his goalscoring efforts as he ages.

Vardy has said: “I wake up in the morning and then, Red 📖Bull. Literall🌌y I get out of bed, get the kids up and downstairs, get their breakfast sorted and then I’m straight into the Red Bull.

“After that we meet at the stadium for pre-match and while I’m getting changed I’ll have a coffee. It’s better than taking ProPlus. Red Bull, coffee and then when we get over to the pre-match lounge, I’ll have my cheese and h❀am omelette with another can of Red Bull.”

Where Mohamed Salah ranks and why age is just a number for Liverpool No.11

Interestingly, Salah is already 15th on this list – scoring 48 goals in 82๊ appearances since his 30th birthday – which is a stunning record, and serves to suggest he would perform just fine up until he turns 35.

The man from Nag𝓰rig is in impeccable shape, does not drink as a practicing muslim, and places a keen focus on his diet – even advising Harv💖ey Elliott to stop eating bread at the AXA Training Centre.

We can certainly understand why FSG would be wꦅary of paying Salah £350,000-aꦓ-week for three years in which he does not perform well, but with all things considered, we can see him shining for many more seasons to come.
