"I still have one year remaining on my contract. So it is not the good moment to talk about my departure," he said.

"It was important we got Champions League qualification. The most important thing for me is to continue to win as many trophies as possible, in a great club, and Liverpool can be this one.

"In a perfect world, it would be the greatest team in the world, and I would stay my entire career. I am dreaming about that.

"Now we have to see if Liverpool will quickly become a great club again. A footballer's career is short and it is important to be at the right place at the right time."
