A few days ago, according to Spain's "Fichajes" report, Real Madrid has overpowered Barca in the competition for Fabian Ruiz, the player is willing to consider joining after the season, and the favorite target of Ancelotti has recently rejected Napoli's contract renewal negotiations, and his transfer to Real Madrid at the end of the season has also greatly increased.
Real Madrid are always looking for new midfield organisers, and neither Camareunga nor Uruguayan youngster Valverde, who has great potential in midfield, are good at organising, and Kroos' current form and morale are not comparable to those of the treble. In response, Ancelotti recommended fabian Ruiz, a favorite player he had under napoli.
Born in April 1996, Fabian Ruiz was the MVP winner of the 2019 European Youth Championships and is now a first-class midfielder in Serie A. Napoli, where Ruiz is seated, has been a strong contender for Serie A Champions League qualification in recent seasons, and Fabian Ruiz has also performed very well this season, scoring 5 goals and assisting 3 times in 20 Serie A games, and is also the undisputed midfield core of Napoli, Ancelotti believes that such a player in the current year is a suitable substitute for Kroos.
In addition to Real Madrid, Barca are also chasing Fabian Ruiz, but it is clear that Real Madrid have steadily suppressed Barca in this competition. Ruiz moved to Napoli from Betis for 30 million euros in the summer of 2018, when Ancelotti first took office in Napoli, the two worked together for a season and a half, and it was under Ancelotti's tutelage that Ruiz grew into a European first-line midfielder, and his position is similar to that of an anandre player era, so Ancelotti was also very good at cultivating him. Now that Carlo Ancelotti has met, Ruiz is also very willing to go to Real Madrid.
Ruiz is currently valued at 55 million euros on the German "Transfer Market" website, but his contract will expire in 2023 and enter the contract year this summer, so to buy him, the media estimate is about 38 million to get, which is equivalent to about a "70% discount" on the value, which is a very rare time for any team that wants to get him. On the 18th, Napoli and Barcelona will play the first round of the Europa League knockout round, when Real Madrid will also send scouts to the scene to visit Ruiz again.
