Fabián Ruiz could have become one of the big signings for Real Madrid a few months ago, but the deal never took off. The Andalusian midfielder, who was entering the final stretch of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, was a real option to strengthen the center of Real Madrid's midfield, although the sports management discarded the possibility considering that his age did not fit the recruitment policy the club had at that time. However, the scenario has changed in the intervening months, and the player is very close to extending his contract with the French champions.

The Spanish international, aged 30, is going through one of the best moments of his career. According to journalist Miguel 'Látigo' Serrano, his excellent performances both for the Parisian team and the Spanish national team have increased his value once again, leading several top European clubs to closely monitor his contractual situation throughout this summer.

Fabián Ruiz was an option for Real Madrid

Recent reports indicate that Real Madrid seriously considered the possibility of adding the midfielder to their squad when his renewal with Paris Saint-Germain was not yet finalized. At that time, the player was entering the final year of his contract, and there was a chance to negotiate his departure for a sum lower than his market value.

However, the decision was made at Valdebebas that investing in a 30-year-old player did not align with the sporting planning model in place at the time. This choice ultimately paved the way for the French club to secure the Spanish international's continuity.

Ironically, the policy of the White Club has evolved in recent months with the arrival of more experienced players, a profile highly valued by José Mourinho, who deems it essential to mix youth with established players to compete at the highest level.

The renewal with Paris Saint-Germain is well underway

While rumors swirled about a potential move, Fabián Ruiz advanced negotiations to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Various reports agree that the agreement between both parties has been reached since the beginning of the year, with only the official announcement pending. The extension will prolong his contract until 2028, with an option to extend it for another season, until 2029.

The Andalusian arrived in Paris in the summer of 2022 from Naples for €22.5 million, a deal that has proven to be one of the French club's great successes over time.

Currently, his market value hovers around €30 million, although just a few years ago, it was valued at around €60 million, reflecting the level he reached during his time in Serie A and later in France.

Real Madrid remains attentive to the LaLiga and European market

The quest for a new midfielder continues at Real Madrid. After definitively ruling out the acquisition of Rodri Hernández, the club is still analyzing various profiles capable of providing quality, attacking prowess, and international experience.

In this context, Fabián Ruiz's name resurfaced due to his footballing characteristics. His ability to organize the game, break lines with dribbling, and arrive from the second line fit perfectly with the needs of the Madrid team. However, the progress of his renewal with Paris Saint-Germain has nearly extinguished any chance of seeing him in Madrid's colors.

Nevertheless, the player has never hidden his affection for Real Betis, the club where he developed and to which he would like to return before ending his career. However, that possibility seems reserved for the future, as his priority is to continue competing at the highest level with the current European champions.

With the contract extension almost finalized, Fabián Ruiz will remain a key figure in Paris Saint-Germain's project. Real Madrid seriously considered his recruitment but ultimately chose to look towards other targets. Therefore, barring a completely unforeseen turn of events, the Spanish international will continue shining away from LaLiga, establishing himself as one of the most reliable midfielders in European football.
