Real Madrid 'offer £62m flop Luka Jovic to Napoli in bid to drive down Fabian Ruiz's asking price' as club attempt to land the midfielder without splashing the cash

Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to offer Napoli Luka Jovic in a bid to prise away Fabian Ruiz.

The La Liga giants have been chasing the Spaniard for some time but are looking for ways to bring down Napoli's asking price.

The club's president Aurelio de Laurentiis has previously said they would only consider offers of £70million or above for Ruiz, who is also a target for Manchester City.
