Local media outlet Il Mattino reports that Napoli left-back Mario
Ruyi
Could leave the team this summer and return to play in Portugal.
Rui, 33, is a Portuguese player who joined Napoli from Roma in 2017 and is currently one of the longest serving players in the squad. During his time with the team, he has won one Serie A title and one Coppa Italia with the team. However, due to Napoli's waiver of Spinazzola this summer, coupled with the Uruguayan international Oliveira already in the squad, Rui's place in the team has become less secure.
Il Mattino reports that Rui is ready to return to Portugal to play domestically, and that the Portuguese Premier League trio of Sporting Portugal, Benfica and Porto have all shown interest in him. The transfer deal could be finalized in the last days of the summer transfer window and will be in the form of a loan plus a right of first refusal.
For Rui, a return to Portugal would be a fresh start and for Napoli, it would be an opportunity to tweak the squad. Rui's experience and skills at Napoli would undoubtedly have a positive impact on any Portuguese Premier League team.
