Samuel Eto'o has admitted he would be interested in a move to Liverpool.
The Reds have reportedly offered cash plus midfielder Xabi Alonso to Barcelona in exchange for the star striker.
Eto'o has endured a season marred by injury and bitter rows with manager Frank Rijkaard.
The Cameroon striker revealed his admiration for the Reds' fans and their Champions League displays.
"The great thing about Liverpool is their team spirit. It is very strong," Eto'o told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
"But, for me, it is their fans who win matches for Liverpool because they have so much power. They are fantastic. Any player would love to have those types of fans behind him. I have played at Anfield in the Champions League quarter-final so I know all about their fantastic supporters.
"It would be wonderful to have that kind of support as a Liverpool player but I really don't know what will happen in the next two years.
"Every time I turn around so many things have happened and changed. So I can't think about it yet. But you never know."
Reds boss Rafael Benitez is looking for a goal-scorer and is desperate for the club's American owners to back him with a transfer war chest.
Eto'o, 26, hinted he may be thinking of a move after next season.
"I have not heard anything from Liverpool or anyone else. These things don't come through to me," he said.
"I'm only thinking about next season and I will be here next season. But every year that passes things become a bit more difficult."
