Liverpool must move quickly to secure Steven Gerrard to a new deal.

The 34-year-old's current deal runs out next June and this is the first time he has ever come so close to being out of contract at his boyhood club.

If Liverpool do not speak to Gerrard in the next two months, he would be able to begin talks about moving elsewhere on a Bosman from January 1.
