Calciomercato Napoli 24 – Napoli’s market could end without a central defender, and so Rafa Marin is set to stay.
Another hot lead of the past few days has disappeared: here is the latest Napoli soccer market news of the last 24 hours. Rafa Marin will remain at the Azzurri, as the option in defense evaluated by the management did not go through.
It was not a top priority, but a good possibility to take advantage of. Napoli had evaluated the profile of Pietro Comuzzo for the present and for the future. The defender’s agents had held talks with the sporting director, who just before the match at the Stadio Olimpico came out about his interest in the player. Commisso, however, did not accept Napoli’s offer of about 35 million euros in total. And he was asking for at least 40.
Comuzzo resta alla Fiorentina: arriva l’annuncio della RAI
Napoli tried to convince Fiorentina, without success. And so, after intense days of continuous talks, Pietro Comuzzo will stay at Fiorentina until the end of the season.
The announcement also comes from RAI journalist Sara Meini, who via a post on X sheds light on the situation of the 2005 class:
“Fiorentina rejected Napoli’s assault, Pietro Comuzzo stays in purple jersey”

The player in the last two league matches had started from the bench, precisely because of market rumors. In any case, he contributed in the two wins against Lazio and Genoa and will also play against Inter in the rematch scheduled for Feb. 6. He will miss, however, Inter-Fiorentina scheduled for next weekend as he is a cautioned player.
Comuzzo remains a target of the Neapolitan leadership for the future. It is not certain that Napoli will abandon the track altogether and may not try in the summer. Conte likes the boy a lot and could represent together with Alessandro Buongiorno a papable pair of centerbacks for the Italian national team.
Thus, due to the blown negotiation between Napoli and Fiorentina, the agreement between the Azzurri and Villarreal for Rafa Marin also blows up. The Spanish central will remain at the coach’s disposal until the end of the season. He currently does not count a single league appearance. He will try to make his Serie A debut soon.
