August 31, (THEWILL) – Fabian Ruiz, a midfielder from Napoli, has been moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 champions signed Fabian to a five-year contract, making him their fifth new addition this transfer window after Vitinha, Renato Sanches, Nordi Mukiele, and Hugo Ekitike. He leaves Napoli after four seasons, the 2019/2020 Coppa Italia, and joins Paris for a rumoured €21.5 million starting price.
Fabian remarked: “I’m very happy to sign for Paris Saint-Germain. It’s a joy for me to start this new stage of my career in this country. And I’m proud to come to one of the best clubs in Europe with the best players in the world. It’s a truly exciting challenge.”
The 26-year-old scored seven goals and provided four assists as Napoli finished third in Serie A last season, completing more passes (1,966) than any other Partenopei player in the competition. Since he joined Napoli in 2018, only Dries Mertens and Ruslan Malinovskyi (both 15) have scored more goals from outside the penalty area in Serie A than Fabian (13).
His arrival to bolster the PSG midfield, along with Portugal duo Sanches and Vitinha, comes after Christophe Galtier allowed Georginio Wijnaldum to join Roma.
