Napoli confirm Raul Albiol signing from Real Madrid

Serie A outfit Napoli have completed the signing of Real Madrid defender Raul Albiol.

It had been reported that the two clubs were in talks regarding a fee for the 27-year-old's services for the last few days.

An agreement has now been reached, with Napoli revealing that Albiol has signed a four-year contract at the Stadio San Paolo.

The centre-back joined Los Blancos from Valencia in 2009, but after his first season at the Bernabeu, he found starting opportunities hard to come by.
