By Football Italia staff

Fabian Ruiz is expected to take his Napoli medical this afternoon, before finally joining for €30m from Real Betis.

The Spaniard has been in Naples for over a week, but is yet to officially sign for the Partenopei.

He will be a replacement for Manchester City bound Jorginho, and following reports yesterday that a €55m deal is done, it’s now thought Ruiz will have his medical at 15.00 local time at Villa Stuart in Rome.

According to Premium Sport’s Raffaele Auriemma, he will then head to President Aurelio De Laurentiis’ Filmauro offices to sign his sign a five-year contract worth €1.8m per season.

Napoli have already agreed to pay his €30m release clause.
