Beating AC Milan at home (3-0) in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain was full of confidence before returning to the French elite and Stade Brestois on Sunday for the 12th day of Ligue 1. Scorer against Strasbourg last week, will Fabian Ruiz once again line up in Luis Enrique’s starting lineup against the Ty-Zefs? Since the arrival of the Spanish technician in France, the Parisian number 8 has struggled to make his mark as a starter. It must be said that the competition in midfield is fierce, especially since the arrival of Manuel Ugarte who continues to impress.
Due to reduced playing time (9 matches, 3 starts, 1 goal, 1 assist), the Spanish international (20 caps, 1 goal) could have desires elsewhere during the next transfer window. And according to the Spanish press, FC Barcelona should offer him a way out. So, Mundo Deportivo evokes a recurring interest from Barça, wishing to strengthen its midfield with the arrival of a player capable of playing as a double pivot. The Catalan media is convinced that he could form a “excellent tandem with Frenkie De Jong and would get along wonderfully with Pedri”. It remains to be seen whether the main interested party wishes to leave the capital club, he who had already been approached by the reigning Spanish champion when he was officiating in Naples. And especially if Barça will still be interested this winter.
