Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have been linked to Fabian Ruiz for quite some time now and it is very much justifiable. The 23 year-old is a bright prospect and could be a long-term option for any club that he decides to join.
The Los Blancos have been looking to strengthen their midfield and they even considered Paul Pogba at a point. However, the Red Devils’ evaluation of £180 million for the French International drove them away. They even looked to turn to Spurs’ Christian Eriksen and Ajax’s Van de Beek but failed to make any substantial deals.
Ruiz is currently valued at 30 million pounds which is not a big sum for these two clubs. However, with the race going on, it is likely that the price will elevate and a deal much higher than 30 million pounds can be reached. However it should be mentioned that he is worth that sum.
