Days after he inked a new deal to 2027, Salah laid on an assist for Luis Diaz before Van Dijk headed home a winner in Sunday's 2-1 win against West Ham.
Afterwards, Salah told Sky Sports: "I am glad that we managed to do that early, before the end of the season.
"And hopefully also Virgil will be next. I just say hopefully! I'm just saying. Look, he can do whatever he wants but I would love to see him here again next season. But of course, he can choose do do whatever he wants."
Standing alongside his teammate, Van Dijk smiled: "I can say I am very proud today to captain my 100th game for Liverpool. And it was an emotional day, because obviously it was the Hillsborough anniversary so that was the main focus - get three points and get a step closer towards all of our dreams.
"Not only us as players, but coaches and staff and everyone connected with Liverpool FC. That's the main thing. Everyone knows how much I love this club and let's see what the next week will look like."
