Raul Albiol's adventure with Napoli may be reaching its end. The Spanish defender, who arrived with the club in the summer of 2013, may be returning to Spain. Villarreal, in fact, has decided to pay the 5 million euro clause and has informed Napoli of their intention.
If Albiol must confirm his decision to leave Italy, Napoli will decide what to do, if they'll substitute him and with whom. However, this would be done without a sense of urgency as Albiol played little this past season (19 league appearances). As an alternative, the club likes Manolas, who's already being seeked by Milan, but there still hasn't been significant and decisive talks with Roma or the player.
