Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz could reportedly have blown his chances of earning a move to Barcelona with his celebration in Sunday's 4-1 win over Lecce.
The 23-year-old netted his first goal of the season at the weekend in front of Barca director of football Eric Abidal, who had allegedly been sent to scout the Spain international.
Indeed, Barca are one of a number of clubs thought to be interested in Ruiz, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Liverpool also said to be admirers of the midfielder's talents.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Ruiz's decision to provoke the home fans during his celebration for Napoli's third goal was not well received by Abidal, who could now pull the plug on a move.
The Spaniard moved to Serie A from Real Betis in last summer's transfer window and still has little under four years left to run on his contract at Stadio San Paolo.
However, the Naples outfit are reportedly keen to sign Ruiz to a new deal in order to remove the release clause which exists in the current agreement.
