Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Manuel Reina has dismissed reports emanating from Spain that he could return to La Liga at the end of this season.

The 26-year-old former Villarreal keeper has been linked with a return to his homeland with Atletico Madrid next summer.

However, the Spain international is keen to continue his three-year association with the Reds.

"I see myself continuing outside of Spain. You never know, but I would like to spend a few more years in England. The plan is to stay here," Reina told Marca.

Meanwhile, Reina has tempered claims that last weekend's victory over rivals Manchester United has proved that the Reds are capable of winning the league this season.

"The team has not played great football, apart from the game last weekend against Manchester United, but we are on the right path," he continued.

"We are playing with comfort and that has allowed us to push up to the near the top.

"People are saying it could be our season. The Premier League is always difficult as their are plenty of other teams, like Chelsea and Manchester United, that can do well.

"We have to reduce the difference at the top that has been there in the past few years."
