Reina rules out Spain switch
-
Jose Reina has dismissed rumours that he could return to play in Spain next summer and believes that this could finally be the year when Liverpool close the gap at the top of the table.
The 26-year-old keeper has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid to follow in his father's footsteps, but he has now said that he cannot see that happening soon.
Reina has established himself as Liverpool's No.1 since arriving from Villarreal in the summer of 2005 and he says he is happy at Anfield.
"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.
Liverpool need to continue improving, according to Reina, but he does believe that they showed what they are capable of during last weekend's victory over Manchester United.
"The team has not played great football, apart from the game last weekend against Manchester United, but we are on the right path. We are playing with comfort and that has allowed us to push up to the near the top," he continued.
"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."
