Inter set to challenge Real Madrid for young Spanish midfielder

Inter set to challenge Real Madrid for young Spanish midfielder

Inter Milan are still monitoring the situation surrounding Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz. The 21-year-old was linked with a possible move to Serie A in January, but as Calciomercato.com’s Fabrizio Romano writes, the Nerazzurri are still a long way from securing his signature.
 
The youngster is considered one of Spain’s best up and coming talents and has a current contract at Real Betis until 2023. Romano reports that the Spanish side also want to increase the buy-out clause contained in his current agreement which will see any possible suitors having to part with €30M.
 
The other major stumbling block for the Nerazzurri is that Real Madrid have also earmarked the player as a possible replacement to Luca Modric and if comes down to a straight fight, Inter look almost certain to miss out.
 
It’s understood however, that Inter remain in contact with their Spanish counterparts and a summer assault has not been ruled out.
