Real Madrid has decided to make a surprise signing according to SPORT, citing anonymous sources, which would see a “prodigal son” return to the Bernabeu if the transfer is completed.
Rafa Marin was sold at Napoli in the summer, for 12 million euros, which can fetch up to 22 million euros depending on a number of variables.
However, the usual practice of disposing of products from his La Fábrica academy in Madrid has shown sensible business acumen by including termination clauses in the terms and situations of his deal with the Italian club.
This is known as “Vía Carvajal” or “Carvajal Route” in Spain, in honor of the club’s legend, the right side Dani Carvajal, lately injured for what deserves to be the rest of the 2024/2025 season after having damaged his LCA among other things. Things A 2-0 victory in the League against Villarreal at Bernabéu in early October.
The Euro 2024 winner with Spain and the Ballon d’Or candidate was sent to Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year deal in 2012 but brought back to his country’s capital after just one single season following a stunning Bundesliga break.
This is anything that can take place faster with Marin, and in all likelihood from the January movement window that opens in early 2025.
Carlo Ancelotti’s devastated side are lacking players in defence, with David Alaba returning from his own ACL knock and Eder Militao again suffering a critical injury for the second time in two seasons.
While Raul Asencio learned the Sailor dream through being promoted to the first fold of the Castilla team in the opposite midfield of Militao, Toni Rudiger remains the only midfielder at the back of the Midfielder Senior Ancelotti can appeal and is related to Aurelien Tchouameni Defensens Midfiamper passed recently.
Marin’s capture is the case of the fastest, due to the attractive way in which the movement was cut.
Madrid made sure to come with a purchase clause of $ 27. 1 million (€ 25 million) that can be exercised in 2026, but then at $ 37. 9 million (€ 35 million) in 2027.
Still, if Napoli pays $10. 8 million (€10 million) next year, the clauses will double to $54. 2 million (€50 million) in 2026 and $75. 8 million (€70 million) in 2027.
As Marin’s move to Napoli hasn’t gone as planned, though, the thinking is that he can be picked up on the cheap and perhaps for something around the price the Serie A giant originally paid for the 21-year-old considering he is still yet to make his debut for it.
