Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson admits Jamie Carragher is crucial to the club's locker room.
Hodgson is confident he will have no problems holding on to the likes of local boys Steven Gerrard and Carragher.
"Carragher is an excellent player and people like him and Steven Gerrard epitomise Liverpool Football Club," said Hodgson.
"These days there is so much talk about do players want to stay or want to go, and with those two there's never any question. They are Liverpool through and through.
"It's very important we have people like that at this club and Carragher epitomises it with his fighting spirit.
"He has played left-back, right back and centre half for me this season and he doesn't moan about it.
"He gets on with job and I have no fears ever about playing him at full back or centre back because he plays equally as well in both positions."
