This gossip is standing in the way of control
In a severe case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted,
Liverpool would like to add the Napoli player, Fabián Ruiz, to their midfield. A player seen as the new Xavi is wanted by others, too, and
Real Madrid and
Barcelona are also stalking someone who impressed during Napoli’s 2-0 defeat of Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
It feels like Jadon Sancho is going to become a mainstay of this august column – he already is, frankly – and those links with
Manchester United continue to grow. That link of promising young Englishman and fallen giant trying to rebuild itself could be the feel good hit of the next transfer window, if not a winter warmer during the gloom of the January transfer window.
