Villarreal or Chelsea for Albiol

By Football Italia staff

Raul Albiol is almost certain to leave Napoli this summer, it’s reported, with offers from Chelsea and Villarreal.

The defender turns 33 in September and his contract runs to June 2020, but he is not believed to have a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s new side.

He has a release clause set at just €6m.

According to CalcioNapoli24, the former Real Madrid centre-back has two offers on the table.

The first is to go back to Spain with Villarreal and would allow him to conclude his career in La Liga.

The other is from Chelsea, where Albiol would get to continue his work with ex-Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri.

He has been in Naples since a €12m transfer from Real Madrid in the summer of 2013.

Albiol was practically ever-present for Napoli this season, contributing three goals and two assists in 39 competitive games.
