Rafa Benitez eyeing reunion with unsettled Liverpool star Glen Johnson
RAFA BENITEZ and Napoli could make a surprise swoop for Liverpool defender Glen Johnson.
Recent reports have suggested that Johnson's Anfield future remains uncertain as club and player have reached an impasse over a new deal.
Johnson recently was coy about whether he would stay at Liverpool when he said: "Like you said it's very quiet. I am just concentrating week by week and not thinking about it.
"Of course I want to stay, yeah. But like I say I worry about this week, this week and then next week, next week. That is how I live my life."
But fresh reports suggest that Johnson is on Benitez's wish list along with Manchester City's James Milner.

Johnson is a free agent as of next summer and Benitez may be confident of signing him in January.
Moreover, Johnson wouldn't price Napoli out of a deal as he doesn't have a price tag.
It remains to be seen whether Benitez will get the chance to work with Johnson again.
