Reina could join Man City

By Football Italia staff

Pepe Reina has a contract offer from Napoli, but Manchester City have reportedly joined Newcastle United in enquiring about the goalkeeper.

The Spanish international has a frosty relationship with Partenopei President Aurelio De Laurnetiis, but it was expected that he’d nonetheless sign a new contract.

However, Radio Crc is reporting today that Manchester City want Reina as a backup for new signing Ederson.

The English club are offering €3m [£2.6m] for the 34-year-old, but Napoli are asking for €5m.

Newcastle are also interested, but it remains possible that Reina will renew as he has a close bond with the club and its fans.

Should he depart, Leonardo Pavoletti could be used as a makeweight to try and get Alex Meret from Udinese.
