Raul Albiol wants a move to his old club Valencia, but Napoli continue to demand €15m and require a replacement first.
According to Spanish newspaper As, the veteran centre-back is eager for a return to where his career began at the Mestalla.
Despite offering €10m, Napoli turned down all proposals, insisting he is worth €15m.
This is a dangerous game for the Partenopei to be playing, as Albiol is only under contract until the end of this season and can therefore leave as a free agent next summer.

Valencia are therefore hopeful Napoli can clinch a deal for Torino’s Nikola Maksimovic, as he’d clear the way for Albiol to leave.
Toro are asking for €25m, though Maksimovic going AWOL from training over the last couple of days could be more of a hindrance than a help.
