Aston Villa winger Nolberto Solano has revealed he would jump at the chance of a move to Liverpool.

Solano has been linked with the European Cup holders in recent days, potentially as a makeweight in the deal for striker Milan Baros.

Villa are understood to have offered £6million for Baros, plus a further £500,000 in add-ons as manager David O'Leary is desperate to strengthen his strikeforce.

Although O'Leary is unaware of any offer from Liverpool for 30-year-old Solano, and Reds manager Rafael Benitez has conceded no bid has been made, the Peruvian has added fuel to the fire surrounding his future.

"It is fantastic when a big club comes in for a player," said Solano. "Ask any player in the world if they would love to play for a big club, and everyone would love to.

"I won't say 'no, I don't want to go to Liverpool' because they are a big club who want to challenge to win titles, and any player would love to go to Liverpool."
