Napoli right-back Elseid Hysaj is set to join Atletico Madrid for €20m, despite President Aurelio De Laurentiis claiming he wanted €25m.
According to La Repubblica and La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Azzurri will sell the Albania international to the Rojiblancos for €20m, less than the original asking price.
Coach Diego Simeone needs a replacement for Filipe Luis, who is out of contract.
Hysaj represents good value, as he can play on the right or the left side of defence.

It is a time of transformation for Hysaj, who got married this weekend.
