The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and even Salah's former Liverpool teammate, James Milner, have continued playing at the highest level into their late 30s after taking extreme care with their bodies over the years. Salah is into the final 12 months of his contract at Anfield, but the incredible shape he's still in makes the decision not to have already signed him up to fresh terms all the more baffling by the Reds' hierarchy.

What Next For Mohamed Salah
His Liverpool future remains uncertain
Salah will believe he can play football at an elite level for many years to come. Should he be unable to come to terms on a new deal at Anfield, there will likely be a huge queue of potential suitors interested in securing his services. The £350,000-per-week wages he currently earns may prove to be a stumbling block, but the 32-year-old has proven to still be one of the best wingers in world football.
He began a new era at the Merseyside-based club by scoring and assisting on the opening day of the new Premier League season against Ipswich Town. Salah's playmaking ability has helped him adapt to Arne Slot's style of play and has proven his technical skill outweighs the blistering pace he was once well-known for.
