"I suppose that when the World Cup finishes I will speak to the people at Liverpool and they will explain to me the real situation of how things are at present, the future of the club. And I will talk to the new coach," he told El Mundo Deportivo.

The 26-year-old faced an injury-hit season last year with Liverpool, but still managed 18 league goals in 22 appearances in the Reds’ lacklustre campaign.

"There's time for that [Liverpool], but I want to finish the World Cup, go on holiday - as I haven't had a holiday for three years - rest and then there will be time to talk about all of that. The situation isn't going to change whether we talk soon or later," he said.

"Honestly, teams won't be able to do anything until the World Cup has finished. The players here prefer to wait - there is time."
