Napoli right-back Elseid Hysaj is set to join Atletico Madrid for €20m, despite President Aurelio De Laurentiis claiming he wanted €25m.
According to La Repubblica and La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Azzurri will sell the Albania international to the Rojiblancos for €20m, less than the original asking price.
Coach Diego Simeone needs a replacement for Filipe Luis, who is out of contract.
Hysaj represents good value, as he can play on the right or the left side of defence.
There had been reports that the 25-year-old could follow his Maurizio Sarri to Juventus, but no concrete offers arrived, while Manchester United were also said to be interested.
It is a time of transformation for Hysaj, who got married this weekend.
