With the ambition to conquer the Premier League, Arsenal plans to recruit Fabian Ruiz, the EURO 2024 champion.
According to Mikel Arteta’s decision, Arsenal is starting to contact PSG to negotiate the transfer of midfielder Fabian Ruiz.
Arsenal has completed the “blockbuster” signing of Riccardo Calafiori and is now focusing on the EURO 2024 champion.
Fabian Ruiz has become a target for Arsenal.
AS reported that Arsenal’s initial plan was Mikel Merino, also a member of Spain’s European Championship-winning team in Germany.
Contacts with Sociedad have not yielded the desired results. Additionally, Merino seems to prefer staying in La Liga rather than going abroad (Barcelona and Atletico have made inquiries).
That’s why the London club changed their plan, shifting to negotiating the transfer of Fabian Ruiz.
The 28-year-old midfielder was a key player in Luis de la Fuente’s squad at EURO 2024, along with Rodri.
Before participating in EURO 2024, Fabian Ruiz had already considered finding a new club because he was not Luis Enrique’s first choice.
Fabian only played 1,196 minutes in Ligue 1 2023-24, equivalent to 39% of the minutes PSG played and won the French football championship.
The Premier League is Fabian’s favorite destination. The former Napoli and Betis midfielder is eager about Arsenal’s contact.
PSG is officially negotiating with two young players, Joao Neves and Desire Doue, who will participate with France in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The Paris club has confirmed they will sell Fabian Ruiz for the right price and is also preparing to move Manuel Ugarte to Manchester United.
Arsenal is expected to pay 30 million euros to PSG. Fabian Ruiz will bring the mobility Mikel Arteta needs to help “The Gunners” compete for the Premier League title, a trophy they haven’t won since 2004.
