Returns to Napoli after loan spell

Marin has departed Villarreal following the conclusion of his season-long loan from Napoli, the player announced.

Analysis: Marin joined Villarreal on loan from Napoli in July 2025 for a fee of one million euros, with the Spanish club holding a purchase option of 15 million euros that they ultimately chose not to exercise. The 23-year-old centre-back came through the Real Madrid academy before spells at Alaves and Napoli, where he won the Serie A title in 2024-25 before heading out on loan. Marin also represented Spain at under-21 level during his time at Villarreal, and now returns to Napoli where he remains under contract until 2029.
