Almeria goalkeeper Luis Maximiano has shrugged off rumours linking him with Barcelona.

Maximiano is on-loan at Almeria from Lazio this season.

He told La Voz de Almeria: "I don't know the figures of my redemption or when it would be to be honest, but as far as I know I'm now an Almeria player. This is clear.

"I feel very comfortable here with my family after a very complicated year on a personal level. It was very nice for us to return to Spain because we have a very special affection for this country and Almeria is a comfortable city with a nice climate.

" On a personal level everything is perfect, we enjoy life in Almeria and I am calm when I see my son growing up in this environment."
