Report: Albiol set for Villarreal

By Football Italia staff

Villarreal are reportedly set to sign Napoli defender Raul Albiol for €6m.

Despite his agent claiming on Monday that he had never spoken to Villarreal, CalcioNapoli24 claims there is ‘total agreement’ between Albiol and Villarreal, who will pay his release clause before the June 30 deadline.

The website notes a meeting is scheduled for Tuesday between Napoli and the Spaniard’s camp, where the club will be informed of negotiations with the Yellow Submarine and their intent to buy out his Partenopei contract.

The 32-year-old joined the southerners from Real Mdrid in 2013 and has gone on to make 210 appearances at the San Paolo, winning a Coppa Italia in his first season.
