Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has swiftly put an end to rumours that he is about to quit Anfield and head to Atletico Madrid to fill the void left by the Manchester United-bound David de Gea.
Reina, 28, had been listed as a likely replacement to join Atletico and return to his homeland when news of de Gea's likely transfer surfaced.
However, the shot-stopper made an immediate move to stop further speculation about his future by announcing he plans to remain with the Anfield Club long-term.
He told La Gaceta: "I know Atletico are looking for a goalkeeper, but I won't be changing colours. I have a five-year contract and I'm happy at Liverpool."
The former Villarreal goalkeeper also explained that he felt great expectation regarding the arrival of his 20-year-old countryman de Gea to England, saying the Under-21 European Championship winner is set to become a success at Manchester United.
"I very much welcome this news because David is a great keeper. When it becomes official, he is going to start working to prove in the Premier League what a good goalkeeper he is."
