According to Sky Sport Italia, the Partenopei have made initial contact with the Black Cats for their 28-year-old shot-stopper.
Reina has barely taken part in pre-season training due to muscular problems and returned to Spain for treatment.
With the lack of a solid understudy, Napoli are trying to bolster their options in goal.

Mannone only recently signed a contract extension with Sunderland to June 2018, but his future is in the balance after manager Sam Allardyce left to take the England job.
Although Mannone started out in the prestigious Atalanta youth academy, he was poached as a teenager by Arsenal in 2005.
He’s been in England ever since with Barnsley, Hull City and from 2013 Sunderland.
