      Pepe Reina keen on Napoli stay

      Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina hopes he will return to the Serie A club next season, although it is not yet clear whether he will be welcomed back.

      Reina has made 17 Serie A starts so far this season.

      The Spaniard is on loan from Liverpool until the end of the season, but the Azzurri are not taking it for granted that the 31-year-old will return to them and they have already taken Catania custodian Mariano Andujar under contract from July.

      Furthermore, 23-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael has proven to be a reliable deputy for Reina, who has not been spared the Napoli fans' criticism during a recent dip in form.

      And according to Sky Sport, Napoli are considering an approach for Hannover's Germany international Ron-Robert Zieler -- although Reina says he would be keen on another season in Naples.

      "I'm very happy here and my family's happy too," he told Piuenne television. "I'll be here right to the end, but not even I know what will happen after. I'm here now, but I've got to return to Liverpool, although it's unlikely I'll stay there."

      As long as compatriot Rafael Benitez is in charge, he expects he will be wanted again in 2014-15.

      "Benitez was the most important figure in me arriving here," Reina said. "He convinced me to join this ambitious project at a great club. Obviously I also wanted to get to know a different league while it was Liverpool who took the first step by not wanting me anymore because they were placing their faith in a younger goalkeeper."

      Before Reina does leave -- whether he returns or not -- he is keen on crowning the season with some silverware. Napoli have reached the final of the Coppa Italia, where they will face Fiorentina in May, while they are into the last 32 of the Europa League and not yet entirely out of the hunt in Serie A.

      "We need to take things game by game, fighting on all fronts," said the Spaniard. "Roma and Juve are not giving an inch, but now we're thinking about Europe. Thirteen points is a long way to be behind Juve, but we've always got to think positively, regardless of them.

      "It's unlikely that they slip up now considering the pace they've sustained thus far, but it's up to us to do the impossible. We play every competition to win it. Now we're in the final [of the Coppa Italia], we want to win it, but we also know that Fiorentina are a great side.

      "We've taken the first step, playing well against Roma and deserving to win and I'm delighted that we're now so close to winning."

        It doesn't seem BR will allow Pepe to come back.

          No surprise really. His bluff got called. And he's still been doing the Barcelona begging in the press this season aswell.

                Pepe forced Liverpool's hand and then, when his move didn't happen, complained that we had planned for his departure. I liked the man, but if you play by the sword....

                  Agreed. Seeing his error for the Swansea goal brought it all back. We still need a quality keeper to compete with the Mig.

                    I think we'll some changes in that area in summer.

                    Jones is just not good enough to challenge for the first team and I do agree to get the best of Mignolet we need another goalkeeper that will test him for the number 1 spot.

                          It always looks more brutal when it's laid out in black and white. He must have seriously pissed Rogers off though.

                            Can't really blame him, it was a bit of a cheapshot. Fair enough to do if you're leaving on a permanent deal, but not really a good idea when you're only on loan.

                              Ooooooooooooooh that's a little bit bitchy Bren!

                              Still, don't want him back. Swansea's goal last night really summed up the back end of Pepe's career with us. Not an out and out blunder, but a piss easy shot that's somehow gone past him. This is where Mignolet is better, so much better. He saves that. Pepe contrives to let it in...somehow. To be fair to him he made a few cracking saves later on but there's always one soft shot on target that he allows past him.

                                Dont blame him at all.

                                It was a backwards looking thing for Reina to say, and didn't help anyone. I guess it was a throwaway line. But hes gone now. If he prefers playing for Rafa rather than Liverpool that's his choice.

                                Loved him when he was here though, and I think we will look back in a few years and remember him fondly.
