Reina's Agent Scotches Talk Of Liverpool Exit

The agent of Pepe Reina has denied claims the Spaniard is seeking an exit from Liverpool.

Reina has excelled since joining Liverpool from Villarreal in 2005 but has endured an alarming dip in form.

He has been poor so far this season, following on from an uncertain 2011/12 season, and he has been responsible for a series of blunders.

Goals against Arsenal, Hearts and Manchester City have all been blamed on Reina this season, leading to suggestions that Brendan Rodgers could replace him.

Michel Vorm is said to be a target with Reina facing the exit door at Anfield but his agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, has moved to deny the rumours.

"There is no problem right now," he told Calciomercato in Italy. "Pepe has played many games in the Liverpool shirt and is used to all kinds of rumours.

"It is clear he is not having an easy time because the team has not started the season well and liability is falling on him.

"But this will end when he returns to form. He still has four years to run on his contract and rumours of leaving Liverpool are just that - rumours."
