Rafa Marín, the promising academy player from Real Madrid who was transferred a few months ago to Napoli for a fee close to 12 million euros, could be closer to returning to Santiago Bernabéu than many imagine. Despite his recent arrival at the Italian club, circumstances have not been favorable for the young defender. Real Madrid, facing some defensive issues this season, is considering the option of recalling the center-back due to his lack of playing time in his new Serie A journey.

Rafa Marín and his possible return to Real Madrid

At Napoli, Marín has not been able to establish himself so far. In this season, he has not debuted in the Italian league and has only played 90 minutes in the Coppa Italia, a scenario that was not expected by either the player or the Napoli management when they acquired his services. The lack of opportunities has raised doubts both among the player's circle and the fans, who expected more prominence from a player who left Real Madrid with the potential to become a future central defender for the Spanish national team.

The white club, aware of the challenges its defense is facing due to injuries and the inconsistency of some defenders, is seriously considering activating a potential buy-back clause. Marín, familiar with the Madrid environment and having close relationships with many of his former teammates, could be a temporary or even long-term solution to fill the defensive gaps.

The return of Rafa Marín to Real Madrid, though unexpected after his recent transfer, emerges as a viable option for both parties. The center-back could find the playing time he is missing in Italy while Madrid strengthens its defense with a homegrown player.
