Valencia winger Juan Mata is eager to move to Liverpool.
Liverpool have expressed an interest in the recent past, and Kenny Dalglish could be tempted to make a move in the next week or two.
"If Liverpool are interested, then the player would also be interested to hear from them," the source told givemefootball.com.
"While they are not playing in Europe next season, that would not be a hindrance, because Liverpool is a club with a big tradition.
"Yes, it's true that there have been rumours linking Mata to Liverpool but I can say that so far there has been no formal contact or offer from the club."
