PSG midfielder Fabián Ruiz became a key player for the capital club this past 2024-25 season, leading to a UEFA Champions League trophy. Nonetheless, could Ruiz want to move on to a club where he’s an undisputed starter?
At PSG, manager Luis Enrique leans into competition and rotating the squad. As a result, players will need to fight for their minutes to keep their job as a starter, so no role is guaranteed under the Spanish boss.
Ruiz has displayed at the club and national team level that he’s a top midfielder, but at PSG, he can find himself as a backup. Could another club lure him out of Paris with the promise that he can be a key part of their midfield?
Foot Mercato reports that Manchester United and Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr are both showing interest in Ruiz. The 29-year-old played a key role in PSG’s Champions League-winning campaign this season, forming a solid midfield trio with Vitinha and João Neves.
While Ruiz remains under contract until 2027, United are said to be exploring experienced options for their midfield and could be preparing an approach.
Despite the outside interest, the French club wants to maintain stability in midfield, and the Ruiz-Vitinha-João Neves trio looks well equipped to stay together for years to come.
That vision will likely require extending Ruiz’s contract, which is set to expire in two years. So far, there’s been no word on a renewal, but if Ruiz keeps up his strong form, it’s only a matter of time before talks begin. Ruiz is under contract until 2027 and Transfermarket puts his value at €40 million.
