Raul Albiol is on the verge of saying yes to a €4m Villarreal move, and Napoli could replace him by paying the €36m clause for Roma's Kostas Manolas.
According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Andalusian side are set to pay the €4m release clause that the Partenopei have on their 33-year-old defender and will offer him €7m in wages spread out over three years.
The Spain international arrived in Serie A in 2013 from Real Madrid for €12m and has played 236 times for the Azzurri during his stay at the Stadio San Paolo.

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that new Giallorossi Coach Paulo Fonseca wants to convince Greek Centre-back Manolas to stay with the club, despite Napoli, Milan, and Juventus all considering paying his €36m release clause.
Di Marzio reports that the Azzurri have tried to offer Amadou Diawara in part-exchange for the Greece international, but the Lupi will only sell if his clause is met and would prefer Dries Mertens to the midfielder.
Bournemouth’s Dutch defender Nathan Ake is a possible alternative to Manolas to replace Albiol, however, Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly interested in the 24-year-old.
