Liverpool defender Kolo Toure says he is determined to fight for a new contract at Anfield.
The 34-year-old has three months left on his current deal, and no new offer has been made by the club.
Toure signed a one-year extension last May, but the pending summer arrival of Schalke centre-back Joel Matip on a free transfer could see the former Arsenal and Manchester City defender exit Liverpool.
But Toure has been encouraged by a recent run in the side which, due to injuries, has seen him start the last two matches.
"I've not been told anything. I am just enjoying every second of being at Liverpool Football Club," said Toure, who has made 16 appearances so far this season.
"I am a fighter. The future is not the most important thing for me. What's important is what's happening for me right now.
"I'm in the team at the moment and I am showing every game that I'm still here.
"It doesn't matter what other people say, I'm very happy and I always give 100 per cent for this club. Sometimes you can make people change their minds by performing well and that's my challenge right now.
"I can show people by my games that I'm still a top player. That's all I can do and I will fight until the end.
"I've not had any offers for next season yet but if I keep playing like I am at the moment then I'm sure doors will open."
Although Toure is fourth-choice at Anfield his recent performances have belied that, including a man-of-the-match display in the goalless Europa League draw against Augsburg.
And he is likely to start again in the second leg at Anfield this Thursday as he looks to secure his place in Jurgen Klopp's team for the Capital One Cup final against former side City on Sunday.
"We can't think about Wembley because the next game is the most important one," Toure said. "If you don't perform on Thursday, you won't play on Sunday.
"It's up to the manager to decide what players play. We have a big squad.
"Whatever players play we need to qualify and then go to Wembley and try to win the final.
"When you win, you don't feel the tiredness. It's really important we win this second leg."
