Pepe Reina: 'I was close to joining Barcelona before I came to Napoli'

AC Milan goalkeeper Pepe Reina has revealed that he was close to a move to Barcelona before he moved to Napoli from Liverpool.

Reina was recently talking to Sky Sports and he was asked about a move to Napoli. He said: "The decision to go to Napoli was a bit 'forced'.

"Before that summer I was very close to Barcelona, I was very proud to have defended the door of Naples, I had a lot of fun. There they have an incredible audience, a real heart and a team that has done better and better every year. "
