Reira has a £16m escape clause in his contract but Liverpool have no intention of spending that much. Espanyol have hinted they will accept £12m but the Reds are hoping to negotiate an even lower fee.
"I want to leave Espanyol," said Reira after fans turned on the team at the end of last season.
"I don't want to be part of a club that does not take care of or protect its players.
"I do not know if I will go to Liverpool or some other team.
"But I do not want to be at a club where supporters have no love for the players."
