Liverpool manager rules out Reina return

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has rules out any chance of Pepe Reina returning to Liverpool after his loan deal has ended with Italian side Napoli. The Merseyside club spent big on replacing Reina and signed Simon Mignolet from Sunderland for £9 Million pound.

Brendan Rodgers said to the Liverpool Echo “He's already written his letter, hasn't he? He wrote a goodbye letter, didn't he?

"I was surprised at the letter - when you are a loan player I would expect that he should come back, but obviously Pepe made it very clear when he went to Napoli that he was looking to move.

"He penned a great big letter saying he was going to work with the best manager that he'd worked with (Rafa Benitez) and thanked him for his time for Liverpool. So, for me, it probably sounded like he'd made his decision there."
