Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is to join Napoli on a season-long loan deal.
.
Napoli coach Rafael Benitez moved swiftly for his fellow Spaniard and former number one during his spell at Anfield after failing in his bid to sign Julio Cesar from QPR.
.
Reina, 30, was due to report back for training on Sunday before flying out to join Liverpool's pre- season tour.
.
Liverpool signed Belgium international goalkeeper Simon Mignolet from Sunderland in a £9m deal last month.
.
Youth team goalkeeper Danny Ward has flown to Australia in to provide back up to Mignolet and Brad Jones.
.
Reina, one of Liverpool's highest earners, was a mainstay of Benitez's side during his successful spell at Anfield and they have remained on good terms ever since.
.
The Reds former goalkeeping coach, Xavi Valero, has already joined Benitez at Napoli and Reina is known to rate him as a key part of his success.
.
The Italian side can also offer Champions League football after finishing second in Serie A under previous coach Walter Mazzarri.
.
Reina joined Liverpool from Villarreal in 2005 after starting his career with Barcelona.
