Barcelona are ready to cut loose Kay Ruiz.

The young midfielder returned to Barca last summer from PSG, registering with the B team.

However, the move has failed to live up to expectations, with Ruiz playing just 78 minutes across five matches for Sergi's B team.

Sport says management have given up on Ruiz as a first team prospect and are eager to offload him before next week's deadline.

Indeed, the belief is Ruiz will never play first team football for the Catalans.

A return to France has been mooted, where the youngster still enjoys a good reputation.
