Madrid Hopes to Receive a Good Chunk Thanks to Villarreal, Florentino Smiles

The yellow team wants to sign Rafa Marín and the white club could receive a good amount for his transfer

Real Madrid Could Benefit Economically Thanks to a Possible Signing by Villarreal. The "groguet" team is interested in Rafa Marín, current defender of Napoli, and is already preparing an offer to secure his services.

Rafa Marín, in Villarreal's Orbit

The Sevillian center-back, 22 years old, arrived at Napoli last summer from Real Madrid for 12 million euros. However, his participation with the Italian team has been minimal. He has only played three matches this season and is not in Antonio Conte's plans.

In this situation, Villarreal has reactivated their interest in the defender. They already tried to sign him in the winter market, but now they are determined to finalize his incorporation in the summer.

An Offer of 8 Million on the Way

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Villarreal plans to present an offer of between 7 and 8 million euros to sign Rafa Marín. Marcelino believes that his profile fits perfectly into his defensive scheme.

The player also views the possibility of returning to LaLiga favorably and having more prominence in a team that guarantees him playing time.

Real Madrid Could Receive a Financial Amount for This Transfer. As a training club, the "blanco" team included a future resale percentage in their sale to Napoli. Although the exact figure has not been revealed, Florentino Pérez hopes to receive an interesting sum if the operation is completed.

For now, the signing is still in the initial phase. However, everything points to Rafa Marín's future being solved in the coming weeks. Villarreal is determined to strengthen their defense, and Real Madrid could get a good chunk from the operation.
