The Napoli midfielder may come back to La Liga this summer

With the season almost in April and the transfer market soon open again, the rumour mill is cranking into action. The latest name is Fabian Ruiz, the Napoli midfielder, who has been linked to the three biggest teams in Spain - Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

According to various Italian media sources, the future of the Spanish midfielder lies back in La Liga, and more likely in the Spanish capital, though Barcelona have interest.

Napoli are currently fifth in Serie A, which if they finished there would mean they would qualify to the Europa League, not the Champions League. That would greatly lower their income for next season.

President De Laurentiis will look to Ruiz for income and if he has a good Euros, could get up to 60 million for him.

Ruiz’s contract does not end until June 2023. Given the club’s economic state, renewing the deal seems hard, so the 24-year-old may look to jump back to Spain this summer.
