Valencia consider Reina swoop
Quote:
Valencia are closely monitoring Jose Reina's situation at Liverpool, according to reports in Spain.
The UEFA Champions League hopefuls are believed to be scouring the transfer market for a new keeper as Santiago Canizares is still to sign a new contract.
Reina has attracted criticism for his performances this season, particularly during the Merseyside derby defeat to Everton, but would not come cheaply even if Rafa Benitez did think about selling his fellow Spaniard.
After joining from Villarreal in 2005, 'Pepe' has made the number one jersey at Anfield his own, seeing off the challenge of Champions League final hero Jerzy Dudek.
Mestalla sports director Amedeo Carboni is said to be contemplating the merits of making a move for the 24-year-old.
Reina, meanwhile, has written off Liverpool's title chances after the defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
"Fourth place is our target now," he stated.
"We have to fight for that.
"The championship is probably too far away for us because, mathematically, [Manchester] United and Chelsea are so superior.
"We have got to start showing more character."

I would have nothing against Reina ruled out from Anfield and head back to Spain.I think that's the place where he belongs.But I doubt Benitez will get rid of him.
