Manchester City aren’t short of ball-players in midfield with Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Rodri completing more than 90% of their passes in the Premier League last season, but Corriere Dello Sport say Fabian Ruiz had ‘impressed’ Pep Guardiola.
The 25-year-old has been a regular at SSC Napoli and is now a regular for Spain off the back of his club performances, so City were one club paying notice to his career trajectory. It doesn’t appear they’ll land his signature, however, as the Sky Blues refuse to do business with Napoli after losing out on Jorginho.
