Reina content at Anfield
-
Goalkeeper Jose Reina has revealed he is settled at Liverpool amid rumours he is set for a return to his native Spain.
The 24-year-old Spaniard has been linked with a move back home to Valencia all season, speculation which has been compounded further by the lack of progress on a new contract for the goalkeeper at Anfield.
But as he and his side prepare to begin their defence of the FA Cup against Premiership rivals Arsenal, former Villarreal player Reina admits he is happy with life on Merseyside and his primary aim at the moment is to focus on the remainder of the season.
"The truth is I am quite comfortable here," Reina told The Independent.
"I have two years left on my contract and I think we will sit down and talk about a new contract in the summer.
"Now is not the best time to speak about a new deal. There is plenty of time for that. I would be very happy to stay, although in this game you never know what might happen.
"I'm happy at Liverpool, my wife is happy here.
"It is not the time to discuss new contracts because I have to focus on the team, on improving our season and I don't want any distractions from that for me or the rest of the lads."
Reina does not appear to suffer from the homesickness that contributed to the departure from Liverpool of his compatriots Fernando Morientes and Josemi.
"I have a house in Cordoba and it is quite different to Liverpool," he said.
"But I am not homesick for Spain. I miss it, it is my home, but I am happy here." -
