However, before even playing a match, he's leaving Italy.

According to reports, Reina is set to seal a deal to Chelsea who are actively seeking for a new goalkeeper.

Thibaut Courtois will most likely become a Real Madrid player in the coming days with both parties reportedly agreeing a deal for his sale.

As a result, Maurizio Sarri has been searching far and wide for a replacement. And it appears he's found his man.

Reina is believed to be closing in on a £9 million transfer to Stamford Bridge, which will see him link up with Sarri following their stint together at Napoli.

The Spaniard has experienced the Premier League before.

He enjoyed eight seasons at Liverpool between 2005-2013, playing over 200 top flight games, winning the FA Cup and League cup during his spell.

He eventually left Anfield for Napoli in 2013 on loan, before heading to Bayern Munich where he ultimately made a permanent move to Naples.

How will Reina fare at Chelsea? Let us know.
