Barcelona and Real Madrid set to fight over Fabián Ruiz - report

Barcelona and Real Madrid are ready to fight a “war” over Fabián Ruiz, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Napoli star has seen a meteoric rise to his stock in the past few years, and it seems that the megaclubs have taken note.

Barça’s interest has been an open secret ever since Eric Abidal was spotted scouting the player at a Napoli match. How invested the Madrid club is... that’s harder to pin down.

It is said that Madrid sees him as an alternative should the signings of Paul Pogba (Manchester United) and/or Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur) fall through.
