What did Romano say?

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the transfer expert said of Ruck: "A very big opportunity on the market, he is considered one of the best talents born in 2009, so he's still a kid, a wonderkid because many important clubs are tracking him and following him."

"But, at the moment, from what I'm hearing, Real Madrid are following this boy, are showing interest, are sending their people to follow him, to see his progress. In the recent months, Real Madrid have always been tracking him."

"Also Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, so City Group it's better to say, have sent their people to keep an eye on Gui Ruck because it's a big opportunity to sign one of the best 2009-born talents around on a free transfer, just for a compensation to Real Valladolid, in the summer transfer window."
