The two clubs have reached an agreement on the transfer and are expected to officially sign the player on Wednesday local time. The transfer fee is between 10 and 12 million euros, and Real Madrid will retain the player's right of repurchase.
Rafa Marin, 22, comes from the Real Madrid youth system. Last season, he was loaned by Real Madrid to Alaves, where he made 35 appearances totaling 2,546 minutes. Rafa Marin played mainly in a four-at-the-back formation at Alaves, but he also has the characteristics to adapt to Napoli boss Conte's three-at-the-back formation.
Napoli needed to strengthen their center back position this summer, and Rafa Marin became their key reinforcement target. After negotiations, Napoli and Real Madrid finally reached an agreement, the transfer fee is set between 10 million and 12 million euros. This reinforcement will greatly enhance the strength of Napoli's defense, laying a solid foundation for the team's competition in the new season.
The arrival of Rafa Marin will bring a young and promising defensive force to Napoli. Real Madrid's retention of the right of repurchase also means that they remain excited about the young player's future development. Rafa Marin will continue to grow in his new surroundings at Napoli and look forward to his Serie A campaign.
