22-year-old agrees to leave Real Madrid with buy-back clause this summer

Real Madrid have seen some pretty incredible arrivals within the last few weeks. Endrick was confirmed a long time ago but Carlo Ancelotti eagerly awaits his arrival alongside, of course, Kylian Mbappe who currently represents France at EURO 2024.

However, such is the nature of the sport, this means that fans should expect to see an increased effort to offload players in the coming weeks. After all, whether it be to balance the books or even recuperate some finances, Real Madrid need to think about the players which will leave the club this summer.

22-year-old agrees to leave Real Madrid with buy-back clause this summer

According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid player Rafa Marín is on the verge of joining the Serie A side Napoli. Having only just returned from a Liga loan, he has agreed terms to join Napoli next season but the Italian side are just waiting on Real Madrid to give the green light. Admittedly, the tempting buy-back clause could give Real Madrid piece of mind.

Particularly in the Florentino Perez era of the club, it is a common practice for Real Madrid to include a buy-back clause in the deals for their departing players. It can be hit and miss when it is activated but in truth, Rafa Marín would be more willing to give his best at Real Madrid at the second time of asking, more than what could be said for a certain Alvaro Morata.

Rafa Marín is 22 years old but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a place for him in the future mind of Carlo Ancelotti. Particularly considering Real Madrid's pursuit of Leny Yoro this summer, Marín is simply rendered as surplus to requirements. That's not to say he can't make a name for himself in the Spanish capital sometime down the line, though.

Do you think Rafa Marín will be a success at Napoli?
