According to multiple reports, Arsenal has begun talks with Paris Saint-Germain to acquire UEFA Euro 2024 winner Fabián Ruiz. Additionally, new information supports the claim that the Gunners are very interested in signing the Spaniard.
The Daily Express reports that Arsenal are looking to replicate their success with David Raya by bringing Ruiz in on loan from PSG. Moreover, journalist Duncan Castles notes that the Premier League side are aiming for a one-year loan with an obligation to buy.
However, if the English club want the 28-year-old a potential deal hinges on them selling one of their current midfielders. CaughtOffside reports, citing sources, that Arsenal remain interested in Ruiz, who they view as a viable option to strengthen their midfield.
Moreover, the reporting reveals that PSG have set a €45 million price tag for the player. This focus on Ruiz also comes after hints that Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino prefers to stay in Spain.
Ruiz shined during Spain’s successful UEFA Euro 2024 campaign. The PSG midfielder started all six matches, contributing two goals and two assists as Spain clinched the title.
He was impressive all around, averaging 1.7 key passes and 65.2 passes per game with a 91 percent pass completion rate. His standout performance underscored what a fantastic tournament he had with La Roja.
