The former Liverpool goalkeeper spent last season warming the bench as Manuel Neuer played almost every match for Bayern.

Reina made just three appearances - and, embarrassingly, gave away a penalty and got sent off after just 14 minutes of one of those, putting Bayern on course for a a 1-0 defeat to Augsburg in May.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Reina will arrive in Naples for a medical on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Spaniard’s decision to take a career break to acquaint himself with the subs’ bench at the Allianz Arena will rank as one of the more bizarre career moves.

Now he has the opportunity to actually fight for the number one jersey. Current Napoli stoppers Rafael and Mariano Andujar should prove far easier to dislodge than Manuel Neuer, a man shortlisted for the 2015 Ballon d’Or.
