Pepe Reina is on his way back to Napoli after agreeing to a permanent move with the Italian club.
The Spanish 'keeper, who spent the 2013/14 season on loan in Naples, has signed a three-year contract with the club following a year in Germany with Bayern Munich.
The 32-year-old was eager to find a team willing to offer him an increased role after only appearing in three matches for the German champs last season.
While a regular place between the sticks with Bayern never seemed likely thanks to the presence Ballon d'Or nominee Manuel Neuer, Reina should see a spike in appearances as he competes against Rafael and Mariano Andujar.
