English Premiership side Liverpool on Monday dashed Brazil World Cup winner Rivaldo's dreams of a move to Anfield.

Rivaldo, who has been struggling to hold down his first-team place at Italian giants AC Milan, said he would be interested in a move to the Premiership.

"If I could choose my next team, and if they want me, it will be Liverpool," he told the News of the World newspaper.

"It would be an honour for me to wear their red shirt and I would regard it as a dream to play alongside Michael Owen."

Rivaldo, 30, said he that he believes he has a lot to offer the club.

"The other day I was watching them play Chelsea and I could not stop watching their midfield. I have a few ideas about how I could fit in.

"I have decided that I want one or two seasons in England before the end of my career and I want it to be at Liverpool."

But Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier said that he is not interested in signing a player like Rivaldo.

"Don't get me wrong, Rivaldo is a fantastic player, but bringing in high-profile players is not the way I work," said Houllier.

"They cost a lot of money for a limited number of years and I don't like that kind of risk."
