Liverpool goalkeeper admits that he would find interest from Barcelona difficult to turn down, but insists that he is yet to receive an offer from the Catalan giants.

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has insisted that he is yet to receive a concrete offer from Barcelona as rumours persist over a summer move to the Camp Nou.

Barca are actively searching for a new keeper to replace long-term number one Victor Valdes, who will reportedly complete a deal to join Monaco next week.

Reina has admitted that he would struggle to turn down a move to the Catalan giants, but is adamant that he would be happy to stay at Anfield next season if an offer fails to materialise.

He is quoted by Marca as saying: "It's difficult to say no to Barca, although I have not heard anything from the club.

"I am calm, the rumours are always there, but I have a contract and I am happy at Liverpool.

"I like to have a busy summer with the national team so I will enjoy it again this time [the Confederations Cup]."

The 30-year-old has a contract at Liverpool until 2016 and will reportedly make a decision over his future next month after his summer commitments with Spain conclude.
