Real Madrid are being linked with a move for Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz in 2023. The player is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to start discussing a new deal. 

So, the Champions League winners could be one of the clubs that are in pursuit of his signature next summer. Carlo Ancelotti was the one who signed him for Napoli during his time in charge of the club. And by the looks of things, a reunion could be on the cards down the line.

[Manchester United](https://technosports.co.in/2022/07/31/cristiano-ronaldo-will-play-friendly/) are one of the clubs also interested in signing the Spaniard, but they might move this summer. A price tag worth around £25 million has been quoted for the player, and it remains to be seen whether the move to Old Trafford will go through. 

Fabian Ruiz can play as a creative midfielder or an 8, which is something that United need right now. Especially given their loss of Paul Pogba, who left as a free agent. 

However, Erik Ten Hag has refrained from commenting on the player’s future as of right now, even though he acknowledged that they [need new talent in various positions](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1647821/Man-Utd-transfer-news-phone-calls-agents-Napoli-Fabian-Ruiz-fourth-signing). 

A return to Spain would be tempting for the 26-year-old, especially given that he would be signing for the biggest club in the world. It now remains to be seen whether he stays put at Napoli or seals a move away this summer itself.
