The season in Europe has just started, but FC Barcelona is already thinking about reinforcements for the summer 2020 transfer market. According to the newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo', the Catalan club has set its sights on Fabian Ruiz from Napoli to strengthen their midfield in the face of a possible departure next year.
According to the source, the Spanish footballer, who has been making a lot of noise in the beginning of Serie A, is on Barcelona's radar. Or rather, he remains on President Josep Maria Bartomeu's list of signings, as he had previously wanted to count on his services in the past.

The former Betis player is part of the Barcelona's plan to build the best possible squad to keep Messi happy. A couple of weeks ago, Messi made it clear that he intends to stay at Camp Nou, but wants a winning project that aims for all possible titles.
However, Barcelona would not have an easy time signing Fabian Ruiz. He is one of the best players that Carlo Ancelotti has and would not leave Napoli for less than 80 million euros, an amount that far exceeds the 30 million that Maradona's former team paid to Betis.
His place at Barcelona
His place at Barcelona could be to bring more quality to the team. Valverde already has Frenkie de Jong, Rakitic, Arthur, Busquets, and company, but another footballer to populate the midfield and make Barcelona the most competitive institution in the world is always welcome.
What's next for Barcelona
Away from transfer rumors, Barcelona is getting ready to play on Saturday at the Getafe stadium. The Blaugrana comes from a 2-1 victory against Villarreal and will seek to continue their streak in a match that starts at 9 in the morning (Peruvian time) and will be broadcasted by ESPN, Sky, Movistar, and Mitele Plus.
