Liverpool look to steal a march and pip Barcelona to transfer of £74m-rated midfielder

  • Mar 23, 10:25

Liverpool are reportedly ramping up their next transfer window plans and are potentially looking to steal a march on the likes of Barcelona to sign Napoli’s Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz – according to the Express.

The 23-year-old has made a huge impact in Italy since making the switch to Napoli from Real Betis two seasons ago, and despite a few close title runs, the Naples-based side are set to finish outside the Champions League spots this season.

Ruiz though will command a hefty price-tag, reportedly around £74 million, mainly due to the Spaniard having a contract in Italy in 2023.

Liverpool and Barcelona aren’t expected to be the only clubs in for Fabian Ruiz, with the report naming Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United as clubs monitoring the midfielder’s availability.
