At the weekend, Torres said the club needed to sign four or five quality players in the summer and intimated a failure to do so could lead to him considering his long-term future. And, although Reina feels similarly about the need to progress, he has no qualms about committing his own long-term future to the club.
Asked how long it could be before Liverpool would have a realistic chance of winning the Barclays Premier League, he said: "It is not a question I can answer. I can talk about the players but not the investment - that is not in our hands. But I hope we can compete with these kinds of transfers (by Manchester United and Chelsea) and spend some more money in the market."
He added: "All I want and the team want is to be competitive as the others.
"There is nothing apart from winning the league with Liverpool once which makes me feel excited.
"That is a dream to get through and hopefully in a short period of time we will see it come true."
The search for outside investment took a positive turn at the weekend when global private equity firm the Rhone Group made a £100million-plus offer for a 40% share in the club.
Although, if accepted by co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, that cash would be used to pay off a large chunk of Liverpool's £237million debt and not spent on players it would free up more credit options, almost halve the annual interest payments of £30million and encourage further investment.
There are a number of other parties interested in investing in the club and that all points to a brighter future - a future Reina is determined to play a significant part in.
He has already verbally agreed a new contract with the club and expects to complete the formalities next month.
