Problem is the team is in a spot where they're going to need anywhere from 5-8 new players this season. They don't have unlimited resources so they must make the most of their money and they must get their priorities straight. Pepe Reina on salary alone is a huge resource sink. He'd have to come on a free transfer for it to be an efficient transfer.
A back up keeper is needed though and a priority.
It is an insurance policy a top club cannot do without in particular when a new young keeper will be getting tested.
