Newcastle Transfers: 5 Goalkeepers To Replace Tim Krul Next Season

2. Pepe Reina

Age: 31 Current Club: Liverpool Value: £8.8m Perhaps a left-field suggestion but Newcastle could do worse than cast a glance towards Reina if we were to seek a goalkeeper of immense experience to fill the number one jersey that Krul would leave vacant. The 31-year-old is a veteran of nearly 400 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions and boasts an impressive collection of silverware on his CV from his eight-year stint at Anfield having lifted the FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the Reds. Add that to the Coppa Italia he won during his recent season on loan at Napoli alongside the World Cup winners medal and two European Championship triumphs he earned with Spain from 2008 onwards.. Losing his place at Liverpool to Simon Mignolet last term, it's unlikely Reina will be content to play second-fiddle to the Belgian custodian and Newcastle could profit from his chagrin and Brendan Rodgers' eagerness to get him off the wage bill after a long-proposed transfer to Barcelona didn't come to fruition. While it's likely that Reina will come at an expense Newcastle can't afford it could be worth pushing the boat out to obtain a keeper who could significantly steady a shaky back-four.
