Liverpool are interested in Barcelona winger Jeffren and could be mulling over a summer move, according to reports in Spain. The 23-year-old Venezuelan-born Spanish wide-man is currently down Barca's pecking order due to the wealth of talent at head coach Pep Guardiola's fingertips. Jeffren is contracted to the Camp Nou outfit until the summer of 2012 and it remains to be seen whether he will spend another season battling for a first-team place. Barcelona are believed to seek a fee in the region of €10million (£8.7m) for the starlet's services, although they could settle for €8m (£6.9m) to strike a deal. He admits it his aim to succeed with the Catalan giants, although he remains open-minded about the possibility of furthering his career away from the club. "It's not easy to succeed in Barcelona, but it's my dream," said Jeffren. "If the club decides that I am not needed then it's understandable to consider my options."
