The 28-year-old hasn’t at all times been that constant for PSG, however Johnson additionally says he’s a participant that Luis Enrique likes, so there may nonetheless be room for him within the squad subsequent season, that means any departure would seemingly depend upon the sort of provide that is available in from the Gunners or anybody else.
Arsenal could produce other targets as they’re additionally mentioned to be closing in on Actual Sociedad’s Mikel Merino, in line with Soccer Transfers, so it stays to be seen in the event that they’d want Ruiz as nicely.

Ruiz switch: Is he a practical goal for Arsenal?
“Fabian Ruiz has been linked as a goal for Arsenal and I feel his scenario is an fascinating one to observe this summer season. He clearly had a very good event with Spain at Euro 2024 and ended up with a winners’ medal, whereas he’s additionally typically been thought-about an essential participant by Luis Enrique at PSG,” Johnson mentioned.
“When it comes to what occurs subsequent, and when it comes to the curiosity from Arsenal and different golf equipment who’ve sat up and brought discover after his very convincing performances with Spain. I feel a transfer would depend upon what sort of provide is placed on the desk to PSG.
“We all know Joao Neves is anticipated to come back in shortly, whereas Renato Sanches will more than likely be shifting out, and Xavi Simons’ future additionally appears to lie a minimum of for the approaching season in Leipzig, although we’ll see what occurs long-term with that.
“In order that’s a couple of names going out, however there’s additionally Gabriel Moscardo, and the idea is that PSG’s beginning midfield three will probably be Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha and one different participant. So should you issue Ruiz in to a five-man rotation, there’s undoubtedly nonetheless room for him in Paris and I feel Enrique will probably be proud of how he carried out with Spain and be hopeful that he can get Ruiz again into that sort of kind within the season forward.
“PSG will most likely wait and see if there may be any provide put ahead to the membership after which transfer from there, however I don’t suppose there’s any actual strain to maneuver Ruiz on.

“As beforehand reported, Manuel Ugarte is one other participant who might be anticipated to maneuver on, in order that’s another excuse to maintain Ruiz round and it removes that strain to maneuver him on. Let’s see what sort of provides arrive, if any, however I wouldn’t count on a concentrated effort to push Ruiz in direction of the Parc des Princes exit.”
