Fabián Ruiz is no match for Rodri, nor does he have the same defensive level or leadership as the Manchester City midfielder. However, the former Real Betis player has caught the interest of Barça, which considers his transfer an interesting option to strengthen the midfield. At 27 years old, Fabián brings experience and vision, attributes that have been crucial in Luis Enrique's scheme at PSG.
Barça president Joan Laporta has sounded out the possibility of transfer the player, despite strong competition. The idea of seeing Fabián Ruiz play in Barça's midfield promises to intensify the battle in the transfer market between the two LaLiga giants.
Fabian's Contract at PSG and His Good Reputation in La Liga
The Spanish midfielder signed a contract with PSG that ties him to the Parisian club until 2027. This gives PSG a strong position in the negotiation. The club doesn't seem willing to let him go without putting up a fight. In addition, Fabian's market value is considerable, which could mean a high investment for any interested club.
Despite the stability offered by his contract, Barça is not the only one interested. Real Madrid is also keeping a close eye on Fabián's situation, which could turn the transfer market into an extension of El Clásico. Fabián is highly regarded in La Liga and his technical profile would fit well in both teams, although each has its own needs.
Laporta and the Return of a Spanish Talent to LaLiga
Laporta is determined to strengthen Barça's midfield and Fabian is one of the names that's being strongly linked. The prospect of signing a Spanish midfielder who's gained experience in Ligue 1 is an attractive opportunity for Flick's Barça project. In Paris, Fabian has shown that he can perform at the highest level, which increases Laporta's hopes of bringing him back to La Liga.
The competition with Real Madrid only adds interest to the potential transfer, causing excitement among fans of both teams. Although Fabian can't Rodri, his return to Spain could bring a qualfied alternative in the midfield of the team that secures his services.
