Jose Reina has reiterated his wish to play for the European Champions. He say’s it’s an opportunity too good to turn down. It’s hoped the Villareal keeper will be registered as a Liverpool player before 6th July so as to be eligible for the Champions League first qualifying round.

Reina has a reputation of being the best young goalkeeper in Spain and spoke about Dudeks heroics in Istanbul.

He said:

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

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

He added: "I saw Dudek being very focused against Milan in the final, especially in extra time and in the penalty shoot-out. He was physically better than Dida at the time.

"They say I'm good when it comes to penalties, but it's only a matter of intuition and watching a lot of football matches to see how opponents take them.

"The key is luck and deciding which side to dive."
