# Liverpool: Fans react to Fabian Ruiz price update

**The current pandemic is likely to drive down the price of some potential big transfers this summer, and one or two of Liverpool’s targets could well be affected.**

Timo Werner is the one that springs to mind first, with the Reds being constantly linked with a move for the RB Leipzig centre-forward (SPORT via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-close-signing-liverpool-competitors-award-transfer-situation/)). The Anfield outfit are also said to have an eye on Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz, against whom they have already played twice this season in the Champions League.

Italian outlet [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Napoli/02-04-2020/su-fabian-ruiz-irrompe-real-napoli-resiste-vuole-60-milioni-3602172951163.shtml) has provided an interesting update on the 24-year-old, as well. They say that the Partenopei have reduced his price tag from £70m to £52m.

This news has been shared by Twitter page Anfield Edition, and it has got the club’s supporters reacting in their droves – they appear to be delighted with the report. One even [compared him](https://twitter.com/FtblRhys/status/1249454074183012353?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) to former Barcelona ace Andres Iniesta, whilst another suggested that £52m was a ‘[steal](https://twitter.com/ac111991/status/1249482648260685824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)‘ for him.
