Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is seeking a reunion with Pepe Reina.

The Sun says Benitez is keen to sign his old Liverpool keeper from Italian giants Napoli — and hopes to agree a deal soon

Reina, 34, was squeezed out of Anfield by Brendan Rodgers but has a great affection for Benitez and would jump at the move.

Napoli will sell Reina following a bizarre row between their president and the keeper's wife on social media after she stormed out of a dinner party over a joke the supremo made about Reina's off-field “distractions".
