There are many reports in the Spanish and Italian media that Barcelona and Real Madrid are seeking in the next summer Mercato to sign Spanish defender Fabian Ruiz Napoli.
The Royal and Catalan are trying to bring the Andalusian defender back to La Liga after he left for Calcio last season.
The Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo revealed the presence of French sports director Eric Abidal in Italy to watch the match Napoli and Lecce on the stands.Abidal goal was to follow Ruiz closely, knowing that Barca showed interest in the player before moving to the Italian team.
Meanwhile, Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport talked about Real's keen interest in the Spanish international to strengthen his defense.
Ruiz has a contract with Napoli that lasts until 2023 with little salary compared to his potential and the salaries of defenders in Europe, with only 1.5 million euros.
It is worth mentioning that Napoli signed Ruiz from Real Betis after paying the penalty clause in his contract, amounting to 30 million, while the market value today is about sixty million euros, meaning that anyone who wants to sign him should start negotiations of the large amount.
