The midfield of Barcelona and Real Madrid are full of superstars who are in their 30s. These players are playing in their last few seasons of football for their respective clubs and are bound to retire in the near future.

Quique Setien has listed two of their experienced midfielders Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal in the upcoming transfer market and is currently negotiating their transfers deals away from the Camp Nou. Over the past few days, there have been rumours that Arthur Melo and Frenkie de Jong might also consider moves away from the club but the duo are yet to receive any transfer offer.

Real Madrid who were once fixated on signing Fabian Ruiz but in the past few days have shown more interest in signing other midfielders instead. According to the Don Balon, Zinedine Zidane feels signing Camavinga would the most ideal fit for the Santiago Bernabeu. This is because the young Frenchman is only 17 years old and is set to become one of the best defensive midfielders who can act as a long term replacement for Casemiro.

The Spanish giants must capitalise on this opportunity and sign Fabian Ruiz in the upcoming transfer window. In the past few seasons, Ruiz has been one of the consistent midfielders who has been extremely calm and composed in the heart of Napoli’s midfield. He is the main reason Napoli have had such an elegant run in the Champions League this season. Signing the young midfielder could help fill the void for Ivan Rakitic who has played such an integral role in Barca’s success over the last few seasons.

Ruiz has also shown great signs of developing into a defensive player who could potentially fill in the shoes of Sergio Busquets if Barca’s staff are able to focuses on those aspects of his game.
