Real Mallorca midfielder Borja Valero left little doubt that he would seize the opportunity to join Liverpool in heartbeat.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is reportedly considering making an offer for the 23-year-old midfielder, who responded by risking antagonising his own fans by proclaiming Liverpool to be the greatest club in the world.
"There's no club greater than Liverpool," Valero is quoted as saying by www.setantasports.com.
"I will stay here at Mallorca until I am told otherwise. If Liverpool are indeed interested in me then I feel very flattered by that.
"Mallorca would surely prefer to keep the squad in place that did so well last season but at the end of the day they are a selling club.
"My aim has always been to win trophies and to grow as a footballer."
The former Real Madrid prospect has been a revelation since signing for Mallorca in 2007, and the belief is that Benitez will move for him if they fail in their long-standing efforts to prise Gareth Barry away from Aston Villa.
Mallorca's sporting director Nando Pons have already indicated that they would be open to selling Valero to LIverpool should the right offer arrive.
“The club needs money but we don’t want to break up the team we had last season," he said last week.
"However, if a great offer arrives we will be forced to consider it”.
