Pepe Reina seems to be slowly moving towards Newcastle United.

According to a report in The Chronicle talks about a new deal with Napoli are making little progress with Rafa Benitez waiting in the wings for a reunion.

While the keeper is looking for a three year contract with a hefty get out fee Reina is asking for a two year deal with a more modest get out clause.

The keeper has 12 months left on his current deal with Newcastle waiting in the wings to offer the sort of terms that the 34-year-old is looking for.

Benitez has already moved Matz Sels on to Anderlecht on loan but is looking for a new commanding keeper despite having three established number one’s at the club.

Bringing in a top class keeper is key to Newcastle’s plans for the new season with Benitez being kept informed about negotiations at Napoli for the former Liverpool keeper.
