Villarreal are close to signing Napoli defender Raul Albiol for just €4m.
Corriere dello Sport reports Villarreal have agreed to pay Albiol’s release clause, while the defender is ready to return to Spain.
Marca adds the deal is ‘practically closed’, a year after the Yellow Submarine tried and failed to sign the stopper.
The veteran, who turns 34 in September, joined Napoli from Real Madrid in 2013.
He went on to play 218 times for the Partenopei, winning a Coppa Italia and Supercoppa.
