Rafael Benitez is keen to sign his former Liverpool goalkeeper for Newcastle United this summer, but Quilon made it clear that Reina’s first priority is to stay at Napoli.
“We are talking about a very good player who is wanted by many but his priority is to stay at Napoli.”
Asked about a new contract, which Reina has been angling for, he added: “I don’t know; we have talked about it, but we have not gone forward.”
