Villarreal made its first offer to sign a Marcelino demand 4xle

Villarreal has taken a firm step in its planning for the next season by preparing a specific proposal to sign Rafa Marín. The Spanish center-back, currently at Napoli, is on the radar of the Yellow Submarine at the request of Marcelino García Toral, who aims to incorporate him through a loan with an option to buy, valued at around 12 million euros. The player has already accepted the possibility of ing the Castellon club, in search of playing time and prominence that have eluded him in Italy.

Marín failed to establish himself under the command of Antonio Conte, in a season where Napoli was crowned Serie A champions. The young defender only played in six official matches and accumulated just 319 minutes on the field. Despite his potential and the expectations generated by his arrival in Serie A, he did not find the necessary continuity to thrive in such a competitive environment.

With this scenario, Villarreal sees an opportunity to strengthen its defensive line with a promising player, good ball distribution, and training in an elite academy like Real Madrid's. The proposed formula—an initial loan with a non-obligatory purchase option—fits the club's financial strategy and allows evaluating his performance without immediate commitment.

The Yellow's sports management is confident that Marín can establish himself as a cornerstone for the future, while the player sees La Cerámica as an ideal environment to revitalize his career. Negotiations are well advanced, and everything points to the agreement being finalized in the coming days, becoming one of the first pieces of the new groguet project.
