The adventure at Napoli seems to be coming to an end after six months Rafa Marinwho returns to Spain, where a former Italian player, Raul Albiol, will act as his mother. The Andalusian defender has finished with Villarreal, has reached an agreement on his salary with the directors of Submarino Amarillo and will therefore once again embrace a championship, the La Liga, which he knows well, having played last year for Alaves. This was revealed today Corriere dello Sportannouncing the Spaniard’s farewell.
Conte gave him very little space: zero appearances in the championship and two 90′ appearances in the Italian Cup, where he tested him. He had fared against Palermo (5-0), he had disappointed at the Olimpico against Lazio (3-1), when Conte sent on the field those who had played less. Then, however, Napoli began to seal the door in the championship and closed by the Rrahmani-Buongiorno pairing, the Spaniard never found the minutes he needed.
When the Italian defender got injured and Conte preferred the experienced Juan Jesus over him, he finally understood that it would be better to go elsewhere to find space. Rafa, therefore, decided to pack his bags and accepted the expensive loan transfer to Villarreal, who with Marcelino on the bench are fifth in the table and dream of a place in the next Champions League.
