Barcelona go after Ruiz

According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are hoping to take advantage of the growing uncertainty at Italian side Napoli in order to try and convince midfielder Fabian Ruiz to reject a new contract with the club, agreeing a move to the Nou Camp in the process. 

Ruiz is a wanted man with Liverpool also sniffing around for his services, but it doesn’t quite appear as if any real deal is going to get done until we make our way through to next summer’s transfer window as opposed to January’s. 

Ruiz has been a name on the lips of fans from many top European clubs, and understandably so. He’s been the shining light in what has been a mixed first half of the season for Napoli, with many calling for him to be given even more responsibility with the starting XI. 

At this stage, it certainly appears as if he’ll get that.
