Mariano Andujar: Will stay at Catania on loan for the rest of the season

The Argentinian goalkeeper will join the Naples outfit this summer, remaining on loan at Catania until the end of the season.

Napoli were keen to acquire a goalkeeper to replace Pepe Reina, who is expected to leave the club this summer.

Reina, who is on loan at Napoli from Liverpool, has been strongly linked with a move to the Primera Liga, with Barcelona among the clubs keen to acquire his services.

Napoli's statement read: "Napoli have signed Mariano Andujar.

"The Argentinian goalkeeper joins Napoli on a permanent transfer from Catania but will play on loan at the Sicilian outfit until June, 2014."

Andujar joined Catania in the summer of 2009 from home club Estudiantes.

The 30-year-old has made 13 league appearances for Catania this season after falling down the pecking order, with goalkeeper Alberto Frison currently starting for the Sicilian outfit.
