On 27 October 2000, he moved back to Italy, for Napoli,[5][6][7] later revealed as a temporary deal. Despite Napoli relegated, in June 2001 Parma sold him for 21.9 billion Lire (around €11.3 million).[8] [nb 1] (in Italian)

Husaín remained at Naples but in January 2002 left for River Plate on loan.[9] He played another half Serie B season at Napoli before returned to River Plate again in January 2003. It was reported that Napoli had a debt of US$1.2million to River Plate, and allowed Husaín to join River Plate for US$300,000 to compensate the debt and to save salary cost.[10][11][12][13] He was injured in June 2003.[14]
