"Liverpool are a team I really admire," said Overmars, who insists he wants to remain at Barca.
"They've got a superb squad of players, all of whom have great qualities which complement each other. That leads to a fantastic unit.
"Guys like Michael Owen and Emile Heskey are fantastic and dangerous strikers.
"Another player I admire there is my old friend Jari Litmanen. I actually saw him the other week when Holland played England. He came along to watch and it was great to link up with him and some of the other guys who played with us at Ajax."
