Pepe Reina ‘to quit Liverpool for Barcelona at the end of the season’
Pepe Reina may have played his last game for Liverpool after reportedly agreeing to join Barcelona at the end of the season.
The Spanish international is currently on loan at Serie A side Napoli, after Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers brought in Simon Mignolet from Sunderland earlier this summer.
But despite only leaving Anfield on a one-year loan, it looks as though Reina’s days at the Merseyside club are already numbered, after reports in Spain suggested the 31-year-old has already agreed a move to the Nou Camp next year.
Reina still has three years left on his Liverpool contract and was thought to be targeted by Barcelona earlier this year, although a move failed to materialise.
Current no.1 at the Nou Camp Victor Valdes has already stated this will be his last year with the Catalan club, stating he intends to depart when his contract expires next summer, in search of a new challenge.
Barcelona were reportedly targeting Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois, who is currently in his third season on-loan at Atletico Madrid, where he has impressed.
But the Belgian international rubbished the rumours earlier today, insisting he wants to fight with Petr Cech for the goalkeeper shirt at Stamford Bridge.
