Reports from July 2024 confirm Napoli purchased the player from Real Madrid for €12 million. A potential deal with Villarreal was reportedly discussed for as low as €7 million in March 2025. However, by June/July 2025, negotiations for his loan move to Villarreal solidified around a purchase option valued between €12 million and €15 million, with a €1 million loan fee being paid. A May 2026 report reiterated that Villarreal can purchase him for €12 million. Additionally, Real Madrid reportedly holds buy-back options, with figures cited at €25 million for 2026 and €35 million for 2027.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent reporting around his transfer from Real Madrid to Napoli for €12 million in July 2024, and the subsequent loan to Villarreal which includes a purchase option. Reports from June/July 2025 and May 2026 consistently place this purchase option for Rafael Marín Zamora between €12 million and €15 million, indicating a stable market valuation.
