Liverpool’s goalkeeper who is on loan at Napoli has thrashed rumours that have been constantly linking him to La Liga giants Barcelona.

Reina could be a possible replacement for soon departing Victor Valdes and the show-stopper cherishes the prospect. At the same time, he’s growing tired of the rumours surrounding him and has called it “invented”.

He said, “It is an invention of newspapers,” he told Spanish radio station Cope.

“Even last year it was said that I would take over from Valdes.It is normal that a player dreams of representing a club like Barcelona or Real Madrid because they are historic and prestigious teams.”

“But I have a contract with Liverpool until 2016. I do not care about the rumours.I am excited to be at Napoli and try and win something here,” told the spaniard.
