Manchester United frontrunners to land Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz
There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Fabian Ruiz in the last period.
According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Manchester United are frontrunners to land Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz.
The 25-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.
Napoli spent 30 million euros to sign the Spain international from Betis in the summer of 2018. He has 18 months left on his current contract which expires in 2023.
The midfielder has banged in 5 goals and provided 3 assists in 20 matches this term on all fronts.
He is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Spain. Ruiz has also left his mark at the international stage after netting one goal in 15 senior appearances for the Spain national team.
His impressive performances this season have apparently caught the eye of some of Europe’s big clubs.
Fabian Ruiz is widely regarded as a key transfer target for Manchester United this summer.
The report claims that Manchester United manager has extensively scouted Ruiz and is considering a move for the midfielder.
Fabian Ruiz is a skilled midfielder who can make a difference at both ends of the pitch. The former Betis man has the talent to play many roles in midfield.
According to the report, “Manchester United are in the front seat to secure Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz in the summer. La Repubblica suggests that when Fabian enters the final year of his Napoli contract in the summer, he may be sold, so the team avoids losing him on a free transfer. It is believed that Napoli would look at Sassuolo star Davide Frattesi as a replacement for Ruiz. United may well turn to the Spain international to shore up their central midfield, especially if they are unable to sign primary target Declan Rice of West Ham United. Rice is the man United want to anchor their midfield for the coming years, but he is also wanted by Chelsea and Manchester City. The Red Devils are set to lose midfielder Paul Pogba at the expiration of his contract this summer.”
Euro Football Rumours
Manchester United will have to present a really enticing offer in the summer to bring Napoli to the negotiating table. The Red Devils have the resources to tempt them but it will be interesting to see if they are willing to overpay for the player.
Good signing for Manchester United?
Nevertheless, Ruiz stands as an excellent option for Manchester United.
A midfielder of Fabian Ruiz’s ceiling will be a massive addition to Manchester United squad as he will not only improve the overall quality of Rangnick’s starting XI but also add some stability and variety to his midfield department.
Manchester United fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club.
How strong that interest is and whether Manchester United will make a move remains to be seen but it is certainly one worth keeping an eye on.
