Reliable reports are saying that Rafa Marin is in talks with Napoli after Villarreal reached an initial agreement for the defender. The proposed move has moved a step closer, with personal terms currently being negotiated between club and player. Final confirmation is still pending but momentum is clearly building and there is optimism that a deal will be struck in the coming days. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Napoli are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. Napoli's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.0 goals per game (36 in 36). Rafa Marin would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Neither Villarreal nor Napoli have been linked with any additional targets at this stage. Stay tuned to PlayerSwitch for up-to-the-minute football transfer rumours and news from your club and beyond.
