Fabián Ruiz has become one of the hottest names on the European market. The Spanish midfielder is enjoying an outstanding spell with Paris Saint-Germain, and his Ballon d’Or candidacy has prompted several Premier League giants to closely monitor his situation.
Among them is Chelsea, which is reportedly willing to make a major investment in an attempt to bring the player to Stamford Bridge.
According to information from Le Parisien, the London club is preparing a proposal of around €70 million for Fabián Ruiz.
The interest is part of Chelsea’s plans to strengthen its midfield under the management of Xabi Alonso, who is looking to continue building a squad capable of competing for the biggest titles.
At 30 years old, Fabián represents an experienced and high-caliber option for the London project.
Fabián Ruiz’s appeal is also linked to the extraordinary form he is currently enjoying.
The midfielder has established himself as an important piece of Paris Saint-Germain, with whom he has won two consecutive Champions League titles.
On the international stage, he was also part of the Spain squad that won the 2026 World Cup, an achievement that strengthened his Ballon d’Or candidacy.
His combination of collective titles and individual prominence has placed him among the players attracting the most interest on the market.
Chelsea would not be the only Premier League club interested.
According to the report, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are also keeping the midfielder on their radar.
Fabián is under contract with PSG until 2028, so any interested club will have to negotiate directly with the French side in order to try to lure him away from Paris.
With a current contract and his status as an important part of the team, Fabián will not be easy to prise away from PSG.
However, an offer close to €70 million could test the European champion’s stance, especially amid pressure from several English clubs interested in the player.
Chelsea is already preparing its move, while Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle remain attentive to Fabián Ruiz’s situation. The Spanish midfielder has thus become one of the major targets who could headline the next transfer window.
