Reds are the greatest says target.

Reported Liverpool target Borja Valero has issued something of a come-and-get-me plea to Rafa Benitez, proclaiming: ‘There is no greater club than Liverpool’.
The Mallorca midfielder, released by Real Madrid last year, has emerged as a central midfield option for Benitez as Aston Villa continue to delay over Gareth Barry.
Spanish media have linked Liverpool to the 23-year-old, who was a major reason behind Mallorca's acceleration up La Liga last season.
Valero would be a far cheaper option than Barry, and he revealed he would be hugely interested in a a switch to Anfield.
"There is no greater club than Liverpool,” he stated.
“I will remain at Mallorca until they tell me otherwise. If Liverpool say they want me then I am very flattered by it.
"Mallorca would have preferred to keep the bulk of the players that did so well last season but they are a selling club.
"I always want to win things and progress as a footballer."
