The Madrid goalkeeper Pepe Queen return to Villarreal seventeen years after having played for this club, sources from the Castellón entity reported. Reina, 39, arrives at Villarreal after having parted ways with Italian Lazio, a club with which he had one more year left on his contract and is committed to one season.
After the departure of Sergio Asenjo, Villarreal were looking for a veteran goalkeeper who could compete with the starter in the last year, the Argentine Gero Rulli, but who in turn would not cut short the trajectory of the youngsters Iker Álvarez and Filip Jörgensen, who will alternate first team and subsidiary team.
Reina arrived at Villarreal in the 2002-2003 season and wore his shirt for two years until being transferred to Liverpool at the end of 2004-2005. With the club from La Plana he played 147 games, which makes him the goalkeeper with the most games in the history of Villarreal after Sergio Asenjo and Diego López. The goalkeeper returns to Spanish football after passing through Liverpool, Naples, Bayern Munich, Milan, Aston Villa and Lazio.
