Pepe Reina is hoping to extend his contract at crisis-hit Liverpool.

The Spanish goalkeeper is prepared to answer Rafa Benitez's call to discuss a new deal.

"My aim is to get a new contract in the future and I want to be here for many years. Apparently the club wants the same," Reina told the club's official website.

Reina has established himself as a key member of the Liverpool side since his arrival from Villarreal in the summer of 2005 and the 27-year-old insists he is happy to stay on Merseyside.

"It's already my fifth season here and that says it all, really. One of my daughters is a Scouser. I have some friends here and my wife and kids are happy. I have every reason to stay longer and of course I will.

"Titles are what we are all here for. As a Liverpool player, you have to have these ambitions. Trophies are the most important thing, and the most important one is probably the Premier League.

"Rafa Benitez is building something special here. He proved that when he came here - the club was one thing and now it's something totally different. We have grown up and we can still grow up a little bit more."
