Although he’s said in the past that his priority is staying in Napoli, Lozano knows that the only way of boosting his career is to arrive at a bigger club than Napoli, and for a while, that option seemed to be FC Barcelona, who were looking to add a new winger.

That’s why Rafael Márquez is in conversations to take over one of the academy teams, as he was spotted in Barcelona facilities. The former Mexico International could fulfill of becoming a coach for Barcelona, team where he was most successful.

According to reports, he first started conversations over a year ago, when Joan Laporta became president of Barcelona, but things didn’t transcend. During this time, he has kept preparing, as he knows the next step in his career is to become a coach.

How much will he earn?
