Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has confirmed that he is on the verge of penning a new contract with the Anfield-based club.

The 27-year-old Spaniard is settled on Merseyside and is happy to commit his long-term future to the club.

"It is really close and it (signing a new contract) is because they were good to me and I am grateful," he said.

"You will see something in a month or so. I am happy here and the club is happy with me so I have no problem at all.

"Talking to my family we believe there is no better place to be and that is why we will be here a bit longer, much longer.

"There is nothing apart from winning the league with Liverpool once which makes me feel excited.

"That is a dream to get through and hopefully in a short period of time we will see it come true."

Reina has made 246 starts for the Reds since moving to Anfield from Villarreal in the summer of 2005.
