comparison with a former Real Madrid champion

Napoli is preparing to close the first purchase of the summer transfer market session, from Spain they are making a heavy comparison with Rafa Marín.

After the tormented season just ended, at home Naples we immediately took action and turned the page. President De Laurentiis he spared no expense and got the best free coach on the market, that is Antonio Conte. The coach immediately took office and restored enthusiasm to a fan base that had been emotionally depressed after the tenth place achieved in the last championship.

Obviously Conte’s hiring alone cannot be enough, we need to give the right players to the Salento coach and this is why the new sporting director Giovanni Manna he immediately got to work, so much so that the first purchase has already been finalised. Yes, because as we told you above SpaceNaplesthe arrival of Rafa Marín from Real Madrid.

Rafa Marín at Napoli, in Spain they are already comparing him to Sergio Ramos

The center back born in 2002 it will be the first reinforcement of the new Naples and will fill out the list of defenders at Antonio Conte’s disposal. In Spain they talk about it very well, so much so inconvenience decidedly heavy comparisons. Such as the one made by the journalist of ASJoaquin Maroto, at the microphones of Radio Kiss Kiss Naples:

“Rafa Marin? In Spain he is spoken of as the new Sergio Ramoswas born in Seville and is very strong as a central scorer, skilled in marking and high balls: he is a very, very good defender, he is a pure scorer“.

The comparison with Sergio Ramoshistoric defender of Sevilla and Real Madrid, as well as a pillar of World and European champion Spain, makes clear the importance of the coup that Napoli is about to secure. Rafa Marín is a young man with great prospectsso much so that Los Blancos have decided not to completely deprive him of him.

The agreement found between Naples and the real Madridin fact, provides for a transfer for a sum of approximately 12 million euros, including bonuses. The merengues have however reserved a right to buy again (of repurchase, ed.) of the value of 30 million euros, which however would start from the summer of 2026. Real Madrid could proceed with the reacquisition of the defender also in the summer of 2027, but for a higher fee. Napoli – who will let the Spaniard sign a contract until 2029 worth 1.2 million per year – obviously hopes that the experience of Rafa Marin be, regardless, positive and fruitful.
