Rafa Marín Transfer from Napoli to Real Madrid
Rafa Marin, a former Real Madrid defender, was sold to Napoli following an impressive loan spell with Alaves. Real Madrid could sanction a return for the Spaniard during January - even if only on loan.
Real Madrid is reportedly considering the possibility of bringing back Rafa Marín, who is currently at Napoli, to strengthen their defensive line for the remainder of the season. The club, facing a delicate situation due to injuries affecting three of their defenders, has prompted Carlo Ancelotti to explore emergency alternatives. Marín had left Real Madrid last summer after a successful loan stint at Alavés but has had limited participation under Antonio Conte at Napoli. His lack of playing time in Serie A could potentially facilitate a return to Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid considers a temporary loan to be feasible, which aligns with their usual winter market policies.
Rafa Marín has had limited playing time at Napoli, only appearing in the Coppa Italia against Palermo. He is considered a true alternative in defense. Real Madrid, facing a shortage of central defenders, might recall Rafa Marín.
Rafa Marín, a young Spanish defender at Napoli, is being considered for a return to Real Madrid due to limited playtime in Italy. With only 90 minutes played, Madrid sees his return as a cost-effective solution to strengthen their defense. Marín's familiarity with the club and his potential make him an attractive option, with fans closely following the possible move.
Real Madrid hope to re-sign Napoli centre-back Rafa Marin in 2025 to address their injury issues in the position.
Rafa Marín was sold to Napoli for 12 million EUR last week. Real Madrid has a buyback clause that becomes active in 2026.
