Real Madrid have made Fabian Ruiz their top transfer target.
According to reports, “negotiations have accelerated” as the Spanish heavyweights aim to take advantage of the disarray at Napoli.
But the midfielder also has high-profile admirers in England and France.
TOP STORY – MADRID STEP UP FABIAN INTEREST
Napoli midfielder Fabian is a man in demand.
Madrid appear to be in pole position, with Cadena SER claiming the Spanish giants are “very serious” about taking the 23-year-old to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Negotiations over a contract extension at Napoli are said to have stopped and the Spain international is reportedly warm to the idea of joining up with Zinedine Zidane’s side.
However, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain could look to force a three-way bidding war for the Spain international, who has previously been linked to Barcelona.
