If Liverpool can’t beat Napoli on the pitch then they will try to do so off it by stealing one of their best players. The Champions League winners, who were humbled 2-0 by Napoli last night, are keen to sign their Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz. They do however face stiff competition from those two Spanish clubs who try to sign every player Liverpool want, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Leaving Real Madrid however, according to the Sun, could be 27-year-old Spain international Isco. Manchester City, Liverpool and Juventus are all poised but they will have to part with £66m to get their man.
