Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake is interesting Napoli.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Napoli are considering £25.5million-rated Ake as a potential replacement for Raul Albiol.

Albiol, 33, has spent the last three months sidelined after he underwent surgery on a patellar tendon injury and Napoli don't want to be without reinforcements if he fails to recover for next season.

And they have identified former Chelsea centre-back Ake as a summer recruit.

Though Bournemouth are likely to place a price tag of £25m or more on the Dutchman, that is well within Napoli's budget.
