Recently, the media talked about Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who reached the peak of his career in 2025. He not only helped Paris Saint-Germain win the club’s first-ever UEFA Champions League title and FIFA Club World Cup, but also recorded a career-best 8 goals and 11 assists in a single season.
Reports revealed that after winning the 2024 European Championship with Spain, Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos planned to sell Fabian to balance the books.
However, head coach Luis Enrique resolutely halted the deal and told Campos: “We are not selling him.” Enrique admitted that failing to take Fabian to the 2022 Qatar World Cup was one of the biggest mistakes of his coaching career, and their reunion in Paris established Fabian as the team’s “cornerstone” and “Vitinha’s perfect partner”.
Looking ahead to 2026, Fabian’s goals are to defend the Champions League title with Paris Saint-Germain and play as an absolute mainstay under Spain national team coach Luis de la Fuente in next year’s World Cup, making up for the regret of missing out four years ago.
