Reina’s Agent To Discuss Barcelona Talk

Pepe Reina’s representatives are set to sit down with Liverpool in the next few days to discuss the goalkeeper’s future at the club.

The Spaniard’s father recently expressed his desire to see his son replace Victor Valdes at Barcelona, and Reina’s agent, Manuel Garcia Quilon, will now hold talks with the Reds in order to establish where the 30-year-old figures in Brendan Rodgers’ plans.

Reina has three years remaining on his current deal at Anfield, but his father, Miguel Reina, said: ‘I am absolutely convinced Pepe would be more than delighted to return to his Barcelona, where they made him into an upstanding man from the time he arrived at the age of 12 until he left.

‘I say it publicly: I would be delighted to see Pepe back at Barca, of course I would. What father would not like to see his son at Barca? He has already been there but to return would be extraordinary.

‘Pepe has shown sufficient proof of the calibre of goalkeeper he is and right now – and sorry for the lack of modesty – he would be up to the task and the ideal keeper for FC Barcelona.’
