Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has said he would "love" to play with Virgil van Dijk next season after the Dutchman dropped a massive hint over his future.
Salah brought months of speculation to an end on Friday by committing to a two-year-contract extension at Anfield.
There also remains optimism on Merseyside that Van Dijk, whose current deal expires in the summer, will extend his stay at the club.
The defender scored the winner for Liverpool in their 2-1 victory over West Ham United on Sunday and celebrated by kissing the badge on his shirt in front of the Kop.
Asked about his celebration after the match, Van Dijk told Sky Sports: "Everyone knows how much I love this club and let's see what next week will look like."
Reflecting on his own decision to stay at Anfield, Salah added: "I am glad we managed to do that [contract] before the end of the season.
Hopefully, Virgil will be next.
He can do whatever he wants but I would love to play with him next season."
