Reina refutes latest round of Barca links

Pepe Reina has quashed speculation he will return to Barcelona and says he would be open to extending his Liverpool contract.

Widespread reports have claimed that Reina is a target for Barcelona, if current number one Victor Valdes leaves the Spanish champions this summer.

However, Reina has stressed that he is happy at Anfield and has dismissed talk of a return to his first club as "only rumours".

"I have my own contract with Liverpool for three more years," said Reina. "Nothing has changed.
"If so, we want to make it bigger and my future is with Liverpool.

"Right now, about Barca, there are only rumours and only people talking about possibilities. There are no facts. I cannot talk further on that."

Valdes is currently expected to leave Barcelona in 2014 when his contract expires and Reina respects his fellow Spain international's position.

Reina added: "Victor has said he will not move from Barcelona and wants to fulfil his contract, and that must be respected."
