Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez confirmed on Friday that Liverpool are weighing up bids from Aston Villa and Olympique Lyon for striker Milan Baros.
"We have a good offer from Olympique Lyon and another one from Aston Villa and we must analyse both and while we analyse he will be playing with us," Benitez told a press conference.
Benitez also denied reports in the Spanish press that Liverpool had made an offer to Real Madrid for their former striker Michael Owen.
He insisted he is happy to carry on with his current group of forwards and said his top target is a central defender.
"I have seen the Spanish press and I can say we have not made an offer for Owen," he added. "We have not made an offer. We are looking for a centre back.
"Michael is a good player but we have six strikers now and we are trying to find solutions at the back, not up front.
"When you think that we sometimes play with one striker, even if we lose one forward, we will still have four strikers on the bench."
When asked whether he would sign Owen if the England player was offered to him on loan, Benitez said: "I would prefer to work with the players I have at the moment and it's difficult to talk about hypotheses."
