Asked if he wanted to stay, Liverpool's captain said: "Of course. There are talks that are going to be happening at the end of June and beginning of July. The ball's in Liverpool's court now.
"I'm ready to talk and waiting for them to give me the nod where and when myself and my advisers need to be.
"I've got two years left. We haven't spoken about a new contract yet and I don't know how long those talks will go on for.
"But the sooner they start the better because I want my future sorted before the start of the season."
