Manchester City have had an offer for Pepe Reina rejected by Napoli, who want to keep hold of the goalkeeper.

City are believed to have made a £2.6million bid for the 34-year-old. Napoli are hoping to agree a new contract with the Spanish shot stopper but are willing to sell the former Liverpool man for £4.4m.

Reina and Napoli have been locked in negotiations to extend the goalkeeper's deal but are yet to reach an agreement.

City are looking for back-up for new £35m signing Ederson Moraes and the potential deal has cast doubt over the future of Claudio Bravo, who only arrived at Man City last summer.  

Pep Guardiola's side have already lost Willy Caballero this summer, after he joined Chelsea on a free transfer.
