In a remarkable turnaround, David Lopez’s move to Real Betis has collapsed, so Napoli revived their deal with Espanyol.

He was originally close to joining his old club Espanyol and flew out for a medical.
That move fell apart and Napoli agreed terms with Betis instead, but today that too suddenly collapsed.
