Florentino Pérez has found out and can't believe it. Just six months after leaving Real Madrid, Rafa Marín intends to return to Spain. The youth player isn't being important at Napoli despite being transferred for 12 million euros last summer. He's clear that he needs to leave and has requested this possibility immediately.
The name Rafa Marín has reached Florentino Pérez's office and, although he appreciates being notified, he has no intention of bringing him back. At Real Madrid, they've decided not to make any moves next January, so they'll finish the season with the current team. The youth player is appealing but also considered that he doesn't improve what they currently have.
Regretting Leaving Madrid, He's Negotiating His Return to Spain: Florentino is Aware
After Rafa Marín's main option fell through, what he's clear about is that he wants to play in Spain. He stood out during his loan to Alavés and now intends to continue defending the colors of another LaLiga team.
The portal Fichajes.net has discovered that Rafa Marín's possible destination is Villarreal. This possibility is attractive to him because it's a team that bets on young players with potential. However, his future is full of uncertainties.
The door to Real Madrid is definitively closed: Florentino Pérez doesn't want him back and has already communicated to Rafa Marín that he can head wherever he wants.
Florentino Rules out Rafa Marín's Return: Full Confidence in Asencio
What they intend at Real Madrid is to enhance the qualities of an Asencio, who's shown he's ready to play in important matches. The plan is to give him rest whenever possible, trying to keep him in the best possible condition for the decisive phase of the season. The youth player fulfillls what's being asked of him wonderfully and there's no need for another center-back to take his place.
Not just Raúl Asencio. Florentino Pérez's decision is thoroughly thought and the recovery of Alaba is also key. The Austrian is in the final phase of his injury and is expected to return at the beginning of 2025, being a very key player for the defense. Between the two, the idea is that the defense will be well covered for the remainder of the campaign, also including Rüdiger.
