For more than a year, the Real Madrid has been mentioned in transfer rumors about Napoli’s central midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who was current midfield teammate Dani Ceballos at Real Betis in La Liga.
Ruiz is one of Napoli’s best players, and he has shown it at Napoli these last two seasons. He is one of the best midfielders in Serie A and once again completes more than 90 percent of his passes in the league this season,
According to Calciomercato.com , Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and PSG have an interest in the player of 24 years.
The reasons why Fabián Ruiz sounds
So it seems like there is a real chance that he will end up back in Spain. PSG have the player’s greatest need and the greatest flexibility to spend, although it will be interesting to see how a new managerial appointment in the French capital impacts their interests.
The problem for Real, Barça and Atleti is similar, and that is the cost of signing Ruiz. Napoli’s demands were completely ridiculous last year, because they had no pressure to sell the player to Real or Barcelona, regardless of their possible wishes. In the current economic crisis, their demands are more reasonable, with Calciomercato.com reporting that they want at least 50 million euros.
But that is still too much for Real Madrid. They could benefit from having Fabian Ruiz, but players like Eduardo Camavinga and Houssem Aouar in Ligue 1 would be similarly priced and are better younger players. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid can sign any of those players anyway as they have higher priorities in attack and may not have enough money to sign a forward and a midfielder in 2021.
