Villarreal returns to the attack due to a demand from Marcelino 2d2p2q

Marcelino García Toral has requested a clear reinforcement for his defense, and the chosen name is Rafa Marín. The Asturian coach considers the addition of the Spanish center a priority and has urged the sports management of Villarreal to resume talks for the player from Napoli, whom they tried to sign in the last winter transfer window without success.

At that time, Napoli blocked the operation as they did not have an immediate replacement. However, in recent weeks, Italy has opened the door to a possible exit for the player, reigniting the interest of the Yellow Submarine. Villarreal's defense has been seriously weakened after the absences of Raúl Albiol and Eric Bailly, making the search for a reliable center back an absolute priority.

Rafa Marín is already aware of the club's interest, and in the past, he showed willingness to wear the yellow shirt. His profile fits perfectly into Marcelino's style of play: solid in defense, strong in the air, and with good ball distribution skills. At 22 years old, he represents a present and future investment, exactly what Villarreal needs to rebuild their defense.

The club remains cautious, aware that the negotiation will largely depend on Napoli's stance. Nevertheless, the coach's desire and the player's willingness could pave the way for an agreement. Villarreal, already active in various market fronts, keeps Marín as a priority on the list of potential gs. If conditions align, the Andalusian center back could become one of the first reinforcements for the new project in the 2025/26 season.
