Fabian Ruiz, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder who arrived from Napoli in the summer of 2022, has firmly established himself while also shining for Spain. This success has naturally sparked rumors, especially given that his PSG contract runs until 2027. According to RMC Sport, a contract extension has already been finalized. This development contributed to the Parisian club’s decision not to pursue Ayyoub Bouaddi (18, Lille and Morocco).
“Fabian Ruiz has extended his contract with PSG by one year, with an option for an additional year—a move first reported by RMC Sport back in April. Following Senny Mayulu’s extension, PSG decided against signing any new midfielders.
Although the club’s leadership rates him highly, Ayyoub Bouaddi was never a concrete target for this summer. His future likely lies in the Premier League, where a battle between clubs is expected to unfold soon.”
This isn’t the only media outlet reporting this, so there is likely some truth to it—at least regarding Ruiz’s extension. No one is questioning that point, and an official announcement is likely imminent, though the transfer market can always spring surprises.
That might well be the case for Bouaddi. However, for the moment, his future appears to lie away from PSG. While many regret this, one must accept that the Parisian squad is already stacked. This leaves little room for new players and shifts the focus to other priorities. That’s just how it is; you can’t have everyone.
In recent hours, talk surrounding Bouaddi has centered on the Premier League, accompanied by a very high price tag. That high cost may well have deterred PSG.
