Reds move for Barry

Last updated : 03 June 2008 By Al Campbell
The Reds have made an improved offer to Aston Villa for Barry after the midfielder made a thinly veiled 'come and get me' plea to Rafael Benitez.

"It's obviously very flattering," said Barry about Liverpool's interest.

"The team has made a bid for me but until the bid gets accepted I can't even think about it.

"Champions League football helps any player. You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.

"That's all about the decision that will have to be made by myself. Liverpool are in the Champions League and Villa are trying to push for that. That's all part of my decision if a bid gets accepted."
