Rafa Marin has decided to leave Napoli and accepted a loan back to La Liga, more precisely to Villarreal. The Real Madrid product was signed in a convoluted deal but didn’t convince Antonio Conte afterward, Corriere dello Sport informs (via MSN).

The defender paid the price for a pair of subpar showings but more importantly the late arrival of Alessandro Buongiorno and the switch from 3-4-2-1 to 4-3-3, which limited his opportunities.

He didn’t resurface even after the former Torino star suffered a back injury, as the coach picked Juan Jesus over him.Marin will flee Napoli temporarily after failing to debut in Serie A and making just two Coppa Italia appearances.

The Partenopei routed Palermo and lost badly to Lazio while he was on the pitch. They deployed a reserve-filled XI against the Biancocelesti.

The Azzurri are confident they’ll land Danilo for free as they wish.

His rescission from Juventus could come soon. On the other hand, they’ll face competition from Flamengo, Sky Italy reports (via OneFootball). He’s very tight with Alex Sandro, who’s trying to recruit him and convince him to return to Brazil.
