Pepe Reina a shock target for The Sun Sport Football

Post by alexanderdo3d »

Superstars Xavi and Andres Iniesta — along with skipper Carles Puyol — are said to be pushing for the 30-year-old goalkeeper to go back to the club where he started his career.The Catalan giants were stunned to hear this week that the popular Valdes, 31, will not sign a new deal when his contract expires in 18 months.

It is understood Barca will not force Valdes to see out his contract but will let him leave in the summer as he has been a great servant for eight seasons.Liverpool may let Reina go in the summer if they receive the right offer — and a shock swap with Valdes should not be ruled out.

Reina has been Spain’s No 3 keeper and their unofficial mascot in the last three tournaments they have won. A close friend of his said he was very happy at Liverpool but a return to Barca would be like “going home”.

Wouldn't be overly surprised if this happened. Would rather keep him, but I'd be confident in us finding a good replacement.

Liverpool have made a bid or are going to for another goalkeeper (forgot the name). Wouldn't be surprised if Reina does go, been a lot of talk about him maybe leaving for a couple years now

That's the one. Reina's agent has been in town to discuss his future. The fact Liverpool have bid for another keeper could either be to ensure they have the stocks should Reina leave or they know he's going

Hope we stay well fucking clear of Ochoa.

He's one hell of a youtube 'keeper, but there are far, far better options out there.
