"There's a big chance to break the record, to be number one for a club like Liverpool, it's something huge," he said.
"I will be very happy if I break it. I'm happy about 40, I want to keep scoring, I want to be number one for the record.
"It's always good when you see your name with legends of a club like Liverpool, it's a different feeling and I'm very happy about that.
"But I always try to look at myself and I want more. I have 40 now, I'm telling myself: 'Why not? You can be number one!'

Mohamed Salah needs to score seven more goals to match Ian Rush's Liverpool record of 47 in a season
"I will try my best to break the record but, as I've said before, we play as 11 players, I play for the team.
"It's not about individual awards, it's something for the team. I'm sure if I have a chance to give it to someone else to score, I will - it's not about me, it's about us."
Liverpool have Premier League fixtures against West Brom, Stoke, Chelsea and Brighton to come as the season winds down.
And Salah will also have the opportunity to get on the scoresheet in the Champions League, with a semi-final tie and potential final on the cards.
