As the Serie A season approaches, transfer activity continues worldwide, with teams looking for reinforcements and considering potential departures. At Napoli, a long-serving player may be bidding farewell – Portuguese left-back Mário Rui.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the 32-year-old defender could be heading to São Paulo in Brazil. While in-depth discussions between the parties have yet to begin, there is reported interest from the Brazilian club, and the player appears open to the move.
Mário Rui has been a stalwart for Napoli since joining the club in 2017. Over his seven-year tenure, he has become an integral part of the team’s defensive lineup, contributing to their recent successes including the 2022-23 Serie A title.
The potential transfer to São Paulo would mark a significant change for Mário Rui, offering him a new challenge in a different league and continent. For Napoli, it would mean parting ways with an experienced player who has been a reliable presence on the left flank.
