Trained by recently appointed Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti in the past already, notably in 2016/17, at AS Roma, 30-year old Portuguese left-back Mario Rui, according to Sky Sport Italia, might be soon heading outside Italian borders, and join Galatasaray.

Partenopei have in fact reportedly withdrawn a 5.5 million euros opening bid, pitched down by Turkish club and aimed at the experienced player, and, in spite of the ongoing long-term contract tying Mario Rui to the club, which includes a June 2025 deadline, seem prone to seal the deal.

Playing for Napoli themselves since 2017/18, former Empoli, Spezia and Parma player, featuring a junior past spent between the development areas of Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, capped 132 times for Napoli overall, scoring three goals therein.
