Napoli could sell midfielder Fabian Ruiz for around €60m (£52.3m), according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport earlier this month. Ruiz has reportedly piqued the interest of Barcelona and Real Madrid, though Premier League leaders Liverpool are also thought to be interested in capturing his signature.
Liverpool have previously been linked with a move for the Spaniard (via Daily Express), and some Reds fans have recently been discussing whether or not they would like to see Ruiz join their club. Here is what a sample of them had to say.
I would take this lad in a flash.

What do we think?
Based on the above responses, it seems many of these Liverpool fans would be pleased to see Ruiz in the famous red strip. The Spaniard has made 22 appearances in the Italian top flight this season, scoring twice as well as providing his teammates with two assists (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
His average performance rating in the league this season currently stands at 7.06/10 (via WhoScored.com), highlighting his consistency. He’s currently valued at £43.2m, but may not be a realistic transfer target for Jurgen Klopp unless the German believes he will be an upgrade on his current options.
