Mohamed Salah scored his ninth goal of the season as Liverpool beat Brighton 2-1 in their Premier League clash at Anfield.
Micah Richards says Salah needs a new two-year deal after his match-winning strike against Brighton, with the winger running down his Liverpool contract.
Salah will see his current Anfield deal expire next summer, with his teammates Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the same situation.
The winger found the back of the net with a stunning strike in the 72nd minute, just two minutes after Cody Gakpo’s equaliser.
Salah now has nine goals from his 15 appearances in all competitions this season, having also registered seven assists.
