PSG star set for sensational return to former manager Carlo Ancelotti

Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz, often hailed as one of the best midfielders in the world, could reportedly sign with Real Madrid and link up with former boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Ruiz stood out for Spain in their European Championship-winning run, playing in six games, scoring two goals, and providing two assists, earning a spot in the Euros Team of the Tournament.

Despite an impressive summer for his country, the midfielder has seen limited action for PSG this season under Luis Enrique, clocking 47 minutes of game time, according to the PSG Post.

The lack of playing time is causing Ruiz unrest, and a move to Real Madrid under his former boss Carlo Ancelotti looks like his most favourable destination in 2025.

Pasión Fútbol reports that Ancelotti is a big admirer of Ruiz from their time together at Napoli and is believed to be keen on the midfielder to bolster Madrid's midfield options.

During their one season together at Napoli in 2018-2019, Ruiz was highly productive in midfield, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 27 Serie A games.

Ruiz would be the perfect midfielder for Real Madrid and the ideal replacement for Toni Kroos, who recently retired. His technical ability and vision would allow him to link up with Madrid's attacking stars, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe.

El Chiringuito's Eduardo Inda said: "Real Madrid likes him, and he would be interested in going there. He's a footballer who wants to leave his current club because his relationship with the coach is bad."

With Kylian Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid, PSG is no longer forced to part ways with any of its best players. Even though he's not Enrique's top choice, PSG won't sell unless a big offer comes in.

According to Transfermarkt, the Spaniard has a value of €35 million (£29.5m, $38.5m). However, after his performance at Euro 2024, PSG could demand a more sizeable offer for them to part ways.
