Napoli boss Rafa Benitez has decided against signing Pepe Reina on a permanent deal from Liverpool due to his wage demands. The 31-year-old spent last season on loan at the Serie A side, making 40 appearances in all competitions and has previously stated he would be happy to stay at Napoli.
Asked if Reina's future belongs in England, Benitez told talkSPORT: "Yes. Pepe has two years left on his contract at Liverpool.
"He has to go back and he'll stay there. We can't afford Pepe's wages.
"The Premier League is a very big league and, in Serie A, we don't pay big wages like in England. He will have to fight for his position at Liverpool."
