Bayern Munich have agreed a deal to sign
goalkeeper Pepe Reina from Liverpool, Sky
Sport reports. The Spain international, who
spent last season on loan at Napoli, will join the
German champions as back-up for number-one
keeper Manuel Neuer if he passes a medical. A
statement on the Bayern website confirmed
terms have been agreed with both Reina and
Liverpool.
And chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said, “The
player will come to Munich in the next few days
for a medical examination and to sign his
contract. “He was eager to come to Bayern
Munich. He wanted to embark on this adventure
even though he knows that, in Manuel Neuer, he
has a keeper in front of him who, if nothing
changes, will always remain the number one.”
Reina, who will turn 32 at the end of August, was
a regular at Liverpool for eight seasons before
Brendan Rodgers signed Belgium’s Simon
Mignolet from Sunderland last summer.
