Reina can leave Anfield if a rival club triggers a ÂŁ20 million escape clause in the Spaniardâs contract and the 28 year-old admitted recently that he is keen to play for a club capable of âfighting for titlesâ after winning just one trophy â the FA Cup â since leaving Villarreal for Liverpool in 2005.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said last month that he expected Reina to remain at the club in the long term, but it is understood that former England goalkeeper Robinson is being considered as a possible replacement should Reina be tempted away from Merseyside at the end of the season.
Edwin van der Sarâs planned retirement at United this summer has raised the alarming prospect of Liverpool losing Reina to their bitter rivals, who visit Anfield this Sunday, but United are also watching Schalkeâs Manuel Neuer, Holland keeper Maarten Stekelenburg and Spanish youngster David de Gea.
Stekelenburg and Neuer are also on Liverpoolâs radar, along with Lyonâs Hugo Lloris, but Robinsonâs resurgence at Blackburn since his ÂŁ3.5 million arrival from Tottenham in 2008 has been noted at Anfield.
The 31 year-old is viewed as a risk-free option having performed at the highest level with England, and he can also point to Champions League experience during his formative years with Leeds United.
