Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has indicated that he is interested in signing Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina, with whom he worked both at Liverpool and in Naples, in the summer.
Reina, 34, would be likely to cost Newcastle around £4 million and could be one of around six signings made by Benitez as he overhauls his squad for their return to the Premier League.
AS quoted the Magpies boss as saying: "I have a great relationship with Reina, a magnificent goalkeeper. Pepe is a great player and, above all, a leader in the changing room.
"We greatly missed him in Napoli the year that he left to play for Bayern Munich -- he is someone who makes a difference on and off the pitch.
