Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina wants to end his career
in his native Spain as the uncertainty over his future persists.
Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina wants to end his career
in his native Spain as the uncertainty over his future persists.
Reina is training with the Reds squad in America after
finishing his loan deal at Napoli.
The Rafael Benitez-managed Serie A club are interested in
a permanent deal, but are refusing to meet the £3.95million release clause in
his contract.
Reina's preferred destination would be Spain, but the
former Barcelona stopper accepts he will have to wait for an opportunity in the
Primera Division to arise.
"I have a contract to respect with Liverpool. I'm
training well and I am perfectly fine with my team-mates," the 31-year-old
Reina told Cadena Ser.
"I am here to stay. I have not talked to Brendan Rodgers,
I've been here for only four days and I am just thinking of training to my best
and getting back into shape.
"At the moment all the big Spanish teams are covered
in my role, so I see it as very difficult to return to Spain.
"It's normal though that over the years you want to
return to where you came from, so we'll see.
"When Rafa Benitez signed me at Liverpool in 2005, I
accepted and said that I would be back a little later in Spain. He replied:
'We'll see'.
"It's amazing that 10 years later I am still away
from Spain and that it was he who brought me to Napoli last year."
