[LNB]He has now revealed that he is attracting interest from Europe once more, with Liverpool keen to take him to England.[LNB]"I have a proposal from Liverpool for 7million euros (£6m). We are analysing [it]" said the striker on SporTV's Arena programme in Brazil.[LNB]Kleber penned a five-year contract upon his return to Belo Horizonte and it appears he would rather see out that deal than take on a new challenge in the Premier League.[LNB]"I want to stay," he added.[LNB]"If Cruzeiro offer the same amount, or we talk, I'd prefer to stay. But we haven't talked yet".[LNB]The volatile frontman, who has also attracted interest from Everton in the past, has been a revelation since returning to Brazil, netting 19 goals in as many appearances for Cruzeiro.[LNB]
