Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has stated that he is interested in signing Jose Reina from Villarreal. The player has been linked with a move to Anfield for some time now and with Benitez keen to strengthen his goal keeping options, the time looks close. Speaking to Efe, the Liverpool boss stated:

"There are various keepers we have been following."

"Reina is one of them. We're near but it's still to be confirmed."

The player in turn admitted that he would be flattered by the move.

"To transfer to the champions of Europe, and furthermore to a team with Liverpool's history, isn't something in everybody's reach," said Reina.

"My answer was clear and it could only be a positive one."
