Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz has joined Paris Saint-Germain.
Fabian has signed a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 champions, becoming their fifth new signing in the transfer window after Vitinha, Renato Sanches, Nordi Mukiele, and Hugo Ekitike.
The Spain international leaves Napoli after four seasons, where he won the 2019-20 Coppa Italia, and joins Paris Saint-Germain for a reported €21.5 million fee.
“I’m very happy to sign for Paris Saint-Germain,” Fabian said. It gives me great pleasure to begin this new chapter of my career in this country.
“I’m also proud to be joining one of Europe’s best clubs, with some of the best players in the world.” It’s a thrilling challenge.”
Last season, the 26-year-old scored seven goals and provided four assists as Napoli finished third in Serie A, completing more passes (1,966) than any other Partenopei player.
Only Dries Mertens and Ruslan Malinovskyi (both 15) have scored more goals from outside the penalty area in Serie A since Fabian joined Napoli in 2018. (13).
His arrival at PSG, along with Portugal’s Sanches and Vitinha, comes after Christophe Galtier allowed Georginio Wijnaldum to join Roma.
Fabian’s departure comes after the departures of key trio Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne, and Kalidou Koulibaly.
