Highly-rated Schalke side-back Rafinha has reacted favourably to reports that Liverpool are interested in his services.
Rafinha's contract runs until 2011 and Schalke have no intention of selling him, but the Brazilian international has indirectly encouraged Rafa Benitez to pursue his interest.
"Liverpool is a top destination," said the 22-year-old in response to the reports.
"If a move would suit Schalke as well as myself, we can discuss it."
Schalke chief Andreas Mueller confirmed his side's stance on the matter by saying: "It is good that our players are being linked with such prestigious clubs, but we don't want to let anyone go."
