Liverpool target Sidney Sam is set to be offered a new contract by Bayer Leverkusen.
The Germany international has been tracked by Brendan Rodgers as the Anfield boss looks to beef up his attacking options.
But former Reds captain Sami Hyypia - now the manager of Leverkusen - insists that 25-year-old winger Sam cannot be allowed to leave the club and should be offered a new deal.
"I do not do contracts, but the club known my opinion," Hyypia told Bild.
"A player like Sid is important for the whole future of the club. If we keep our strong players, we are also attractive for new good players."
