Liverpool’s Reina Wants To Stay At Anfield And Not Return To Spain Just Yet

Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper Jose Manuel Reina insisted that he is going nowhere so soon after reports in Spain claimed that he was hoping to make his return to the La Liga by next season.

The former Villarreal goalkeeper was reported to be keen to return home after being linked with Atletico Madrid.

However the 26-year old who won three successive Premiership Golden Gloves awards insisted that he wants to stay in England for the next few years.

"I see myself continuing outside of Spain. You never know, but I would like to spend a few more years in England. The plan is to stay here," Reina told Marca.

Reina further went on to say that the spirit in the Reds camp is buoyed after their spectacular 2-1 win against Manchester United, insisting that they most definitely are in contention for lifting the Premier League title this season.

"The team has not played great football, apart from the game last weekend against Manchester United, but we are on the right path," he continued.

"We are playing with comfort and that has allowed us to push up to the near the top.

"People are saying it could be our season. The Premier League is always difficult as their are plenty of other teams, like Chelsea and Manchester United, that can do well.

"We have to reduce the difference at the top that has been there in the past few years."
