Fabian Ruiz rumors return after Barcelona miss out on Wijnaldum

News that Barcelona look set to miss out on Georginio Wijnaldum emerged on Sunday and within hours the rumor mill had once again churned out the possibility of Fabian Ruiz moving to the Camp Nou instead.

The midfielder is now one of Barcelona’s “priorities” this summer after losing out on Wijnaldum and the club has already spoken to his entourage, according to Catalunya Radio.

However, Barcelona realize it won’t be easy to land the 25-year-old. They know Napoli “only want money” and president Aurelio De Laurentiis can be a tough negotiator.

All of which suggests a move is highly unlikely with Barca strapped for cash unless they can offload a few big names for some decent prices which will be difficult in the current climate.
