Napoli close on Hasa-Marin exchange with Lecce | OneFootball

Napoli have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Lecce and Italy Under-19 midfielder Luis Hasa, with Rafa Marin potentially part of that move on loan.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the negotiations are practically complete for Hasa, who was part of the Juventus youth academy and therefore already worked under current Napoli director of sport Giovanni Manna.

Hasa turns 21 next month and was in the Italy squad that won the European Under-19 Championship, but made just one brief Coppa Italia appearance for Lecce this season.

A player will be used as part of the exchange, potentially Alessio Zerbin or Rafa Marin.

According to Diario AS in Spain, Marin has already asked to leave Napoli in January to get more playing time and specifically wants to remain in Serie A to gain experience in this league.

However, the Partenopei spent €12m on the defender from Real Madrid and therefore would prefer to only loan him out rather than make a sale.

Marin only made two Coppa Italia appearances this season and is yet to make his Serie A debut.

Another option for Rafa Marin suggested by Gianluca Di Marzio is Como.
