“The negotiations for Rafael’s sale to Napoli are going very well and will be finalised imminently,” agent Paulo Affonso told Lancenet in Brazil.
“The conversation he had with Coach Rafa Benitez was decisive in swinging it for Napoli.”
Rafael is a 23-year-old goalkeeper whose contract with Santos is due to expire in August 2014.
