Napoli is interested in strengthening their right-back position, with Andrei Ratiu being a prominent candidate. Although the initial plan was to make a move in the summer, market conditions might push Napoli to act sooner.

Napoli, a contender for the Serie A title, has expressed strong interest in acquiring Ratiu's services. The Italian team considers the Romanian international to be an ideal reinforcement for their defense, especially since doubts have arisen about their performance in European competitions. The Italians have been impressed by Ratiu's ability to maintain intensity for the full 90 minutes and adapt to different tactical setups. Ratiu appears more inclined to consider Napoli's proposal due to their recent success in Italy under Antonio Conte and their ambitions in the Champions League. The final decision will depend on the offers received and the market developments in the coming months.

Andrei Ratiu, a right-back from Rayo Vallecano, has drawn attention from several top European leagues following his standout performance in the recent European Championship. The clubs expressing interest include Tottenham, Roma, Napoli, and Bayer Leverkusen. Ratiu's agents, who also represent Pedri, mentioned during a meeting with Deco that Barcelona is consistently monitoring the market for right-backs. It was noted that Barcelona is interested in Ratiu's situation, given their familiarity with him.

Napoli has included Andrei Ratiu on their list of potential signings. Ratiu, a Romanian defender, is considered one of the best right-backs in La Liga this season and has a release clause of about 25 million euros. Rayo Vallecano is open to negotiating the price, and a portion of any transfer fee will go to Villarreal, where Ratiu was developed.
