Pepe Signs for Bayern
LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Pepe Reina has agreed a deal to join Bayern Munich. The Spain international, who spent last season on loan at Napoli, will arrive at the German champions as back-up for number-one keeper Manuel Neuer if he passes a medical. A statement on the Bayern website confirmed terms have been agreed with both Reina and Liverpool. Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: “The player will come to Munich in the next few days for a medical examination and to sign his contract “He was eager to come to Bayern Munich. He wanted to embark on this adventure even though he knows that, in Manuel Neuer, he has a keeper in front of him who, if nothing changes, will always remain the number one.”
Liverpool fans will have mixed feelings about this move. Pepe was a great goalkeeper and certainly one of the best on his day. He is the joint clean sheet holder in the premiership which is no mean feat considering the quality goalkeeper's in this country. Things changed when he said that he was happy to move on a year or so ago and signed a loan deal with Napoli. Although Liverpool fans will be sad to see him finally go on a permanent basis the wages he was on were very high even though the fee was not big Liverpool will be happy they have him off the wage bill.
