Djib wants to stay red.
Cisse's future continues to be the subject of much debate outside of Anfield but the French ace is satisfied with a return of 18 goals so far this season and is keen to challenge for a regular first team place once again next year.
"My future is already settled," he said. "I still have three years remaining on my contract at Liverpool and I imagine my future will be here.
"Liverpool didn't want to let me leave for L'OM [Marseille] last winter and people have to understand it. Tottenham also showed interest too and Liverpool refused once again.
"I have stayed and fought, and I have took it on. I didn't want to leave after one year. That would have really been a failure.
"I am happy with my last season here, I have scored 18 goals with the club and even if I played on the right side, I think it is a good season.
"The most exciting aspect is above all my number of goals, which is almost superior to my number of starting games.
"I have played in two or three different positions, so now I am a little more versatile - I defend a little better, even if there is still a lot of work to do and I have also improved my crosses."
He added: "To have not played in the centre could help me for the French team, if there is no place in the centre.
"I never have a doubt, I am aware of my qualities. I fight to go to the World Cup, and I will fight again to join the 23 players' list. I repeat it, I don't doubt."
