 Chelsea should consider moving for ‘a’very talented’ Euro 2024 star who PSG wants to sell this summer.

At 28 years ‘old,’very talented‘ Ruiz is adept in almost any midfield role, explaining how integral he could be under Enzo Maresca.

And although Ruiz would be slightly older than a typical Chelsea signing of late, this could be the perfect point of the project to add his experience.

Whether it’s sitting behind Conor Gallagher or slightly ahead, Ruiz would complement the England international and would add to Chelsea’s height in midfield—a more physically imposing presence than Caicedo.

So while Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich is likely still the preferred summer signing of most Chelsea fans, and understandably so, Ruiz could be an excellent alternative. A central midfielder could be the priority signing, but the club also wants to sign a new left-back and a forward.

In terms of the midfielder Chelsea desires, the club is thought to be looking at both number nine and those who can sit in the pivot.

Conor Gallagher’s versatility offered Chelsea flexibility in that regard, which could be important given the limited number of world-class options available.

Of course, in an ideal world, Enzo Maresca would find a midfielder who can do both, just like Gallagher, providing several different midfield combinations.

That’s a rare profile to find, but if you’re looking for a tactically adept passing maestro, Spain’s national team is a good place to start.

And while Euro 2024 substitutes Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino have both been linked to Chelsea, it’s been a long time since Fabian Ruiz’s name has been mentioned.

Despite playing a crucial role for Spain at the Euros as their number eight, playing alongside Manchester City’s Rodri, Ruiz isn’t a regular starter for Paris Saint-Germain.

Fabian Ruiz of Spain celebrates after scoring his side’s second goal during the UEFA EURO 2024 group stage match between Spain and Croatia at Olympia.

And having recognized his strong performances in Germany, PSG thinks it could be a sensible time to sell Ruiz this summer.

Footmercato has even suggested that the Parisiens would be willing to push Ruiz out of the door, perhaps paving the way for a new signing.
