Real Madrid have closed the deal to sell defender Raul Albiol to Napoli for 12 million euros. Albiol joins Jose Callejon, who has also moved from the Bernabeu to the Italian team this summer.

The Spanish international has arrived in Napoli and passed the medical tests. He will sign a four-year deal with a salary between three and four million euros a year.

“I am very happy, Napoli is a great team”, Albiol admitted. “I’ve made the right choice. I know Rafa Benitez will get the best out of me”, he added.

Real Madrid have received 22 million euros in transfers from Napoli this summer: 10 million for Jose Callejon and 12 for Raul Albiol.

The Italian club has earned 64 million thanks to the sale of Edison Cavani to Paris Saint Germain and is reported to have targeted another Real Madrid player: Gonzalo Higuain. However, Los Blancos are not willing to sell the Argentinian for less than 40 million euros.
