Barcelona defender Carles Puyol would be happy to move to Manchester United if it would help his current club in their battle against debt.
Rumours have surfaced in the Spanish media recently of an imminent £14 million sterling bid from Old Trafford for the services of the 25-year-old full-back.
And, with Barcelona having just announced debts of £116 million, the pressure may be on the Catalan club to cash in on popular Puyol.
Barca vice-president Sandro Rosell attempted to quash the transfer rumours on Wednesday by saying the club would not sell Puyol cheaply.
Furthermore, Puyol insisted yesterday that he had heard nothing official about a bid and claimed he was keen to stay at the Nou Camp.
But that did not stop him from lavishing praise on the English champions and their manager Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as suggesting he would fall in line if Barca felt the need to sell.
He told Barca's official website, www.fcbarcelona.com: "Manchester United is one of the best clubs in the world and any footballer would be happy to play there.
"They've got a good team and a great manager, but I want to stay here and win things with Barca.
He added: "If it's for the good of the club, I'll help out, but for myself I'm happy here and this is home for me".
