It seems that the Arsenal football team is making moves to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Rumors have surfaced that they have set their sights on Fabian Ruiz, a star player from Spain who has impressed in the Euro 2024 tournament. According to reports, the team has initiated talks with Paris Saint-Germain to secure a deal for the talented midfielder.
It's been a relatively quiet summer for Mikel Arteta's side, as they have yet to make any major signings. However, they are close to finalizing a €50 million deal for Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori. Along with a new central midfielder, Arsenal is also looking for an attacking player to add to their roster.
Duncan Castles, a well-known football journalist, has revealed that Arsenal is serious about bringing in Ruiz. He stated on The Transfers Podcast, "Arsenal have opened discussions with Paris Saint-Germain for the Spanish international midfielder Fabian Ruiz." However, the success of this potential deal hinges on Arsenal finding a suitable replacement for their current midfield players.
Sources suggest that the transfer fee for Ruiz would be structured similarly to the deal that brought David Raya from Brentford to Arsenal last summer. This would involve a loan with an obligation to buy in the following year. Ruiz would be a valuable addition to the team, as he has proven himself to be a top performer in the Euro 2024 tournament.
Ruiz had a somewhat underwhelming first season at Paris Saint-Germain, starting only 21 games in the French league. Last season, under the management of Luis Enrique, he started even fewer games, with just 14 appearances in Ligue 1. However, his recent performance with the Spanish national team has caught the attention of many top clubs.
The 28-year-old midfielder originally joined PSG from Napoli for an initial fee of €21.5 million in 2022. Despite facing limited playing time, Ruiz remains committed to his current club. In an interview with Le Parisien, he stated, "I know my name is often brought up during transfer windows, but I am happy in Paris. I have three more years left on my contract and I am determined to achieve great things with PSG."
It is clear that Arsenal is keen on acquiring Ruiz's talents, and it remains to be seen if they will be successful in their pursuit. Fans will have to wait and see how this story unfolds, but one thing is for sure, Arsenal is making moves to strengthen their team and compete at the highest level.
