He can’t make himself younger, but he can score goals, more than most.

he could, last season, and that was far off his best. That's a massive fall from previous seasons, and it's hard to blame a club for not having faith he could back up that performance when he's a year older.

If he scored 3 fewer goals that year he would have matched de bruyne, 8 fewer and he would have matched Bruno Fernandes. Who cares if your output is less than your previous when it’s still better than the rest?

The club paying his salary while watching his performance fall off a cliff, apparently. Presumably also the fans who can read the writing on the wall and know "last season's stats" are now the benchmark, rather than an off year, and he'd be lucky to back it up.

Any striker in the league would be happy to match what he did.

Those are players on the leading scorers list, he out scored all but two of them.
