Luis de la Fuente’s squad boasts many talented players, but recently, one player in particular has drawn significant interest from Ancelotti. Notably, the Spanish national team won the Euro 2024 title by defeating England 2-1 in the final. According to Defensa Central, Ancelotti’s top target from the Spanish team is Fabián Ruiz, whom he previously coached at Napoli. Ruiz has been impressive with his national team, including scoring twice against Switzerland recently.
Carlo and David believe Ruiz is the perfect fit for Real Madrid and would sign him immediately. However, Madrid has reservations due to his age of 28. Fabián, who is contracted with Paris Saint-Germain until June 30, 2027, has a market value of 35 million euros. PSG is unlikely to entertain a sale to Real Madrid due to the strained relationship between the two clubs.
Real Madrid is considering other options as well. The club prefers younger and potentially more talented players who have greater potential for development. For the midfield position in 2025, Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen is a primary target. Wirtz is enthusiastic about joining Real Madrid, and the club is optimistic that Bayer Leverkusen will agree to the transfer.
