Pepe Reina has edged closer to an Anfield exit with Bayern Munich confirming that the Spanish shot-stopper has successfully completed a medical with the German giants.
With a £2mil fee agreed between the two clubs, the deal is heading towards a speedy conclusion with a contract and the formalization of the move expected to be completed within the next 24-hours.
The 31-year old always looked set to leave Liverpool this summer after being farmed out to Italian side Napoli last season. The signing of Simon Mignolet from Sunderland pushed Reina out of the top spot at Anfield and an apparent breakdown between the ‘keeper and Reds boss Brendan Rodgers lead to something of a tit-for-tat war of words throughout the season.
Although he looked destined to leave for either Barcelona or make his stay in Italy permanent, the shot-stopper is now heading for Bavaria where he’ll link up with former Barca boss Pep Guardiloa and try to force his way into the Bayern Munich first team.
