Jamie Carragher believes it is "vitally important" to keep Luis Suarez at Anfield, insisting he would not swap the striker for any other player in England.
The Uruguay international has expressed his desire to extend his stay with the Reds despite a testing first full season which saw him serve an eight-match ban after being found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra last October.
But the season has also seen lots of high points, including scoring Liverpool's all-important equalizer in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final victory over Everton - his 14th goal of the campaign.
Liverpool vice-captain praised the 25-year-old's contribution to the cause as Kenny Dalglish's side chase two trophies this term.
"I thought he was brilliant. Our best player. I wouldn't swap him for anyone in the league," said Carragher.
"He is a fantastic player and I'm delighted we've got him and hopefully he will take that forward into the cup final.
"It is vitally important (Liverpool keep Suarez). I see no reason why he would want to leave.
"He is playing well so hopefully he will sign a new contract, which he is expecting to do."
