Sepp van den Berg admits he'll discuss his future at Liverpool this summer.

The defender has spent this season on-loan with Schalke.

"I get messages regularly," the 21-year-old said to WAZ. "There were especially many after the games against Bremen and Mainz. Assistant coach Pepijn Lijnders also congratulated me. But I'm not in daily contact with Liverpool officials now.

"I'm a family guy and at Schalke I was immediately welcomed as a member of the family. That made me feel at home very quickly. I get along with everyone here. I also fit in well here in terms of gameplay, and I want to prove that again in the last two league games.

"There have already been initial talks with those responsible about remaining at Schalke. But we have to wait. Our last two games are the most important now."

Dutchman Van den Berg also said, "In the summer I hope to take part in the U21 European Championship. Only then will it be decided where I will play in the coming season – it was similar in the past three years.

"At some moments it is difficult and stressful not to know in which country I will be living in a few months. You would like to settle down in one place.

"If one day my home club Liverpool would tell me I could stay and get my caps that would be great, but now I'm at Schalke and I want the team to achieve our goal of staying up. After the end of the season, I will be back in Liverpool to talk about the near future."
