FC Barcelona has initiated the first contacts with the representation of Fabián Ruiz to discuss his signing in the upcoming summer transfer window. The PSG player would be interested in returning to Spain.

As reported by Le Parisien on September 9, 2026, the request was made directly by coach Hansi Flick to strengthen the midfield, taking advantage of the fact that the Spanish international's contract with the French club expires on June 30, 2028.

The Fit of Fabián Ruiz in FC Barcelona's Scheme

The executive board composed of Joan Laporta and Deco values the signing of the 30-year-old midfielder to restructure the first team's creative zone. The player is seen as the alternative to rotate with Pedri, especially given the potential sale of Frenkie de Jong in the winter market and uncertainties regarding Gavi's continuity.

The Andalusian player, a two-time winner of the UEFA Champions League under the guidance of Luis Enrique at PSG, wishes to return to LaLiga after his stints at Real Betis, Elche, and SSC Napoli. The prospect of reuniting on the pitch with Rodrigo Hernández serves as a tactical incentive for the Barcelona coaching staff.

Chelsea's Interference under Xabi Alonso for the January Market

Despite the planned interest by FC Barcelona for the summer of 2027, the operation faces direct competition from Chelsea. Coach Xabi Alonso requested from the board, led by Todd Boehly, the arrival of the midfielder during the upcoming January market to cover the gap left by the departure of Enzo Fernández.

The London club has financial room to make a formal offer to PSG mid-season, aiming to thwart the roadmap set by the Catalan technical department.

Joan Laporta and Deco condition the final offensive for the midfielder on the prior departure of several players to free up space in the squad's margins. FC Barcelona will continue discussions with Fabián Ruiz's agents during November 2026 to determine whether they match any proposal from Chelsea before the winter market opens.
