Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina would find it 'difficult to say no to Barcelona'
BARCELONA could be set to replace departed goalkeeper Victor Valdes with Liverpool number one Pepe Reina, after he admitted he could not turn down a return to Spain with the La Liga champions.
Reina has previously been quiet about speculation that he could leave Liverpool this summer and rejoin former club Barcelona, despite Victor Valdes closing in on a move to Monaco.
However, at the launch of his new website pepereina25.com and Twitter account @PReina25, he spoke about transfer rumours linking him with a return to the Nou Camp.
"It's difficult to say no to Barca," admitted Reina. "Although I have not heard anything from the club. I am calm, rumours are always there, but I have a contract and I am happy at Liverpool."
Reina went on to discuss the future of banned team-mate Luis Suarez, who is a reported £40m target for Real Madrid.
"He has committed some errors and he knows it, but he is a humble lad and very talented," continued Reina.
"He can turn a defence inside out and makes a lot of his own chances. For me Luis has no price, he gives a lot to the club and if they sell him they should get a good price."
