Napoli try to persuade former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina to stay amid interest from Newcastle United

Italian giants Napoli are pulling out all the stops to try and convince goalkeeper Pepe Reina to stay at the club, amid interest from Newcastle.

The 34-year-old is currently considering a return to the Premier League, after his nine-year stay at Liverpool was brought to an end three years ago.

And there have been suggestions that Reina is ready to reunite with former manager Rafael Benitez at newly-promoted Newcastle.

The former Spain international is still considered an integral part of the Napoli set up, having made 49 appearances in all competitions for them last season.
