Fabian Ruiz turns down West Ham

Fabian Ruiz has not thought about settling for less than what he thinks he deserves. The Spaniard has rejected an offer from West Ham United, which offered him an interesting sporting project in the Premier League and quite an attractive salary, 'Corriere dello Sport' reports.

The 26 year-old attacker is clear that, if he does not receive an offer which he is really interested in, he will wait until the end of his contractual relationship with Napoli. That ends in June 2023. Furthermore, the Italian side have on the table the option to renew him for another season with a clause of close to 30 million euros. 

Fabian has been at Napoli for five seasons since his departure from Real Betis. The wage the Spaniard gets at this stage of his career is slightly over three million euros a year. Therefore, the Spaniard's salary is affordable and can easily be beaten by good European clubs. 

Last season, Napoli played well in Serie A because they were seven points off AC Milan, who once again won the league title after a decade without doing so. His contributions have been in the centre of midfield although he has also played as a defensive pivot.
