Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich are looking at the prospect of buying Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina as their answer to the retired Oliver Kahn. The Spanish keeper has impressed during numerous weeks at Anfield despite Liverpool sitting uncomfortably in 16th place in the Premiership.
The player is highly rated and reports from Germany and Holland suggest the South German team may look to Reina as the ideal summer signing with Munich already leaking goals at the back this season. The news will alarm Liverpool fans as they feel their team becoming somewhat of a footballing supermarket after news that Tom Hicks could not get backing to re-finance any deals.
Reina has been at Liverpool Football for sometime now and he may also feel it is time for a new challenge having missed out on Champions League football this season and possibly the next if he decides to stay at Anfield.
With talk during the summer of a possible move to Arsenal, Liverpools owners know they have a good quality asset on their hands and they could possibly encourage a bidding war that would lead to a transfer fee of around €20m.
With Liverpool being knocked out of the Carling Cup this week, it leaves the Merseysider’s only two real chances of silverware both in the FA Cup and Europa League although manager Roy Hodgson may feel that a Champions League spot is more important as he tries to keep his players for next season.
He has recently signed a 6 year contract despite not qualifying for the CL, stated that he loves the club and wants to be here for a long time yet, would be worth way more than €20m and we would never sell.
llllllooooolllll. im still laughing. pepe has said he wont leave; his family love it in mersyside also he has a just yes just signed a new 6 year contract. so lets say he gets 5million a year in wages. that will be 30million pounds to buyout his contract. on top 40 million which he is worth. that adds up to 70 mill
this joulnalists knows nothing.
so if man utd lose at the weekend. b.munich are probably gunna buy rooney as well heyy. lmao

But in football anything can happen the keeper in athletico madrid is the next big thing

Oke, sell Reina for 20mil. and go for David De Gea as a replacament or Neuer or Stekelunberg
RBS will sell Pepe for £10mil and Torres for £35mil in January
Sall pish par torres fa £30 mil. Ya ken wat a mon bout. Aye n Pepe danny sell fa na mur tha £8mil ken
With all due respect…
The Bundesliga is full of promising keepers and I believe Munich would rather get one of those (even though I doubt they’ll get Neuer – he’ll probably stay with Schalke even if they should go down) than get a keeper from abroad…
The Transfer window isn’t shut for a month but you still have to fill your pages – that’s the only reason I can understand nonsense-stories like this…

RBS should sell him to Man Utd for £10million in January
