Liverpool were poised to have one of their biggest summer windows for a long time before the global health crisis emerged. Just how that will impact our transfer plans remains to be seen. Liverpool have been linked with a £74m move for Fabian Ruiz, Kopites have debated the rumour.

The Reds need depth and variety in midfield. Kai Havertz has been the most talked about candidate for a while now.
However, The Express feel that Liverpool will move for Fabian Ruiz, paying an eye watering £74m for the Spaniard.
Ruiz has been at Napoli for two years now having signed from Real Betis in 2018.
He is a more deep lying mould of midfielder though he often pops up further up the pitch.

He is technically gifted and rarely loses the ball, Kopites will remember him well from his strong performances against Jürgen Klopp’s side in the Champions League in recent seasons.
However, we cannot ignore that £74m is a vast amount of money, he’d have some work to do to repay such a massive transfer fee should we end up paying that amount.
Liverpool fas have been debating the Fabian Ruiz rumours.
He has been likened to David Silva by one Twitter user, suggesting that he could be a worthwhile buy considering our aging midfield.

Fabian brings passing ability, vision and versatility (not many goals or assists). He’s a younger D. Silva.

This Kopite wants to focus our energies on Houssem Aouar instead.
Would love if we could Aouar instead

Whether or not the boss would stump up the cash remains to be seen.
I thought klopp said he isn’t paying anything more than 50m

And of course, he’s passed the ultimate test of a potential buy…
Ruiz is great in #PES2020 👍
