Pepe Reina is set to join Napoli for next Season on loan, according to Tony Barrett of The Times.<\/p>\n
Their Liverpool correspondent who is in the know tweeted the news that former\u00a0Reds\u00a0Boss, Rafa Benitez has agreed a year-long deal\u00a0between LFC and Reina\u00a0for his services for 2013\/14.<\/p>\n
The arrival of Simon Mignolet to Anfield as first-choice goalkeeper would have made Pepe\u00a0Reina have to sit in the dug-out for most of next\u00a0Season, something the quality keeper is understandably not prepared to do.<\/p>\n
It is believed that Reina is the goal keeper in waiting for\u00a0Victor Valdes of Barcelona\u00a0who has decided to stay at the Bernabeu for one more Season.<\/p>\n
Pepe Reina is then anticipated to join\u00a0Barca as his replacement the following\u00a0year.<\/p>\n
Since joining Liverpool in 2005 from Villareal,\u00a0Reina has established himself as a top quality goalkeeper for the Reds and he has stayed loyal to the club under many changes in Manager and ownership.<\/p>\n
If he does go out on loan to Napoli, it will end a fine Liverpool career on something of a sour note after his very successful career on Merseyside.<\/p>\n
